This change implements the original suggestion of using `updateTransform`,
but applies so globally instead of within a particular postUpdate
function.
Now the game loop calls `updateTransform` after each `updateLogic` call
unconditionally; it is updates that change the world that are accounted
for, not the rendering. This removes some previous checks that were
preventing correct behavior with the previous patch.
This makes the assumption that game objects (eg. Sprites) are only
modified within callbacks triggered before the completion of the
`postUpdate` walking of the scene graph.
- User code that runs outside of the "game update", such as a `setTimeout`
timer, will need to explicitly update transformations so that the world
is synced by the next `preUpdate`: but this is not the expected case and
is already outside the Phaser update model.
- If this assumption does not hold or is too weak, the transformations
could also be applied once at the start of every game update loop
(before any render or update). This change would at most double the time
spent on apply the transformations.
The constant application of `updateTransform` passes all reported failing
cases and resolves#1424 just as the original proposal of having the
change performed in the Sprite postUpdate but will work more consistently
across all scene-bound game objects.
On a desktop Chrome browser the inclusion also has minimal relative impact
as shown by the summarized results. The percentages given are the summed
CPU time of relevant required operations along with that of the
updateTransform itself:
- 10,000 non-collision particles:
- 12% pre/post update, 2.4% updateTransform
- 100 colliding particles:
- 2% pre/post update & collision, 0.3% updateTransform
- 1000 colliding particles:
- 40% pre/post update & collision, 1% updateTransform
With this patch the updateTransform time does creep up _slightly_ (vs just
in `Sprite.postUpdate`) but it is still dominated by required game
updates, and more so, by any actual work like Physics.
The `canvasBitBltShift` detection is updated not to pick up any iOS
browsers. This should eliminate false-positives for Chrome for iOS, eg.
Defaulting to using the double-copy is "safer", even if slightly less
optimal.
(A proper feature check should still be added.)
This replaces 'eval' with closures (that should have probably
been used to begin with) to avoid warnings generated by some tools.
This change does not affect the approach used.
- Ref. #1494
- Memory optimization of delta-scroll shifting.
- The copy canvas is shared between all TilemapLayers
- The copy is done in segments to reduce the memory usage of the copy
canvas. Currently this is a 1/4 ratio.
- Device has the feature (by browser) check to see if bitblt works
- TilemapLayer will automatically enable the double-copy as needed
- Device.whenReady can be used to override the device value
Per https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/issues/1457 the `sow` function
terminates too early on certain false-y values including 0 (and possibly
"").
This changes that, so that 1) only `undefined` and `null` will terminate
the seed sequence processing (this is to maximize backwards compatibility)
and 2) the `length` of the array is honored.
The documentation also reflects the old (and new/altered) behavior.
This is very minor breaking change; hopefully such is mitigated with
leaving in the null/undefined termination.
- This change uses a secondary canvas and rectangle clearing instead of a
'copy' composition on the same canvas. This should hopefully address
the flickering issue in Safari and Safari Mobile
