Hello Stencyl mates, was wondering if there are some improvements that can be made regarding the Platformer Movement behaviours as for example I'm struggling to improve the FPS for a current project.
Testing on simple scene (details bellow) once the actor starts walking the FPS drops from 60 to as low as 36, rising up to 43, 45 going low again and so own, being most steady in the 40 - 45 FPS range.
Scene details only include:
- 1 layer - tileset
- 1 actor (featuring the following behaviours: Animation Manager, OnGround, Walking, Jumping, Ducking, Slowdown, Hurt, Cannot Exit Screen, Camera Follow, )
- no background
- no drawing inside scene for score, lives, coins etc .
The only modification done to the standard package downloaded from StencylForge was to the walking Behaviour by adding playing a step sound on frame 0 and frame 3 of each walking left or right animation (each animation has 6 frames ) inside WhenUpdating
Removing the sound code only improves to FPS to a maxim low of 45
Test was performed on HP EliteBook - i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz , 16GB RAM SSD , WIN10 64bit
Test was done using the integrated FlashPLayer.
Another test was done after uploading the HTML5 (FPS MONITOR enabled) on an actual server and the results displayed were constant 39FPS
Testing the HTML5 game (simple scene actual) from a Andoid phone playing in browser resulted in a constant 59FPS, yet the steps sounds were sometimes missing when constant holding the virtual button down. sounding like it would only play on frame0, not frame 0 and frame 3
Also checking the Onground behavior looks like the WhenUpdating event runs every frame
Any help would be kindly appreciated!
