Optimization
The main objective of Game Project 2 was for us to learn about optimization.
To save performance, we programmers decided to try to avoid constantly updating game objects. We instead used us of a sequence chain. The chain has 2 phases: Activate a lever or move. The rest of the sequence starts after the player has moved.
Firstly, the player checks its interaction with a static enemy. Next, execute environment changes like pressure plates and pitfalls. Lastly, it’s the moving enemy’s turn to execute its logic.
