Whilst Robustin hasn't got the best reputation as a coder, we can't deny that what he's doing here is fantastic in every way. This is a thread in which you can let him know you're watching him working that code like bread dough.
He's even optimising atmos code, the madman. :heart:

But where am I supposed to get my 100% FREE LAG now? That stuff doesn't grow on trees!

Aww shucks.

I'm working on overlays now, which are the real performance killer when the servers get busy, but its even more of a headache than atmos - which at least tried to follow predictable rules.

Keep in mind I am not a coder by education or profession, so its really nice to get positive feedback like this after trying to figure out even basic code for years.

This can actually be an advantage in certain situations.

You do have an admirable ability to think around a problem with the code though

Tbh, good balance is incredibly hard thing to do.
Especially if there aren't design document, which declares, which things are appreciated or not.

I-Ive done it.

I cracked overlay code.

The results of my improvement are... indescribable. Overlays, human overlays especially, were by far the greatest source of lag known to our servers. They completely overshadowed even atmos for processing consumption on Midpop+ servers.

I picked up and put down a PDA in the dorms ~125 times (one overlay update for dropping, one for picking up) and gave the code a 50% chance to use our current method and a 50% chance to use my test method:

Current Overlay Code => 1120ms (133) (avg:8.4210529327392578)

Robustin Code => 6ms (112) (avg:0.0535714291036129)

My code wasn't some exotic change, 99% of it is identical to how we do it now (which also has room for improvement), but all I did was change a couple operators at the heart of the code and its magical.

While I often badmouth Robustin for some of his balance decisions, I have to say that seeing him work on speeding up how the game processes things to remove the FREE LAG is something I enjoy seeing.

Keep up the good work so far man, looks good.
