About
The example was created from this video:
And we tried to build the same stuff on Defold. For now it’s kind of example and benchmark to see how we can use a lot of entities at once time.
You can see the code comments and how it’s implemented here: https://github.com/Insality/crowd-runner-defold/blob/main/game/system.script
The example have two toggler:
-
Skip update- the entities which far away from the player call update less frequently (up to zero times) -
Draw outside- the entities which far away from player is disabled (only sprite component). You can check how it affects on game performance. Since the culling is introduced, seems it’s not very valuable, but anyway increase performance a little
Control:
WASD or touch the screen for move
P - Profiler
Or use on-screen buttons
