like, obviously a lot of games sprawl out in the space that they're given, but I think the way most of them expect to be the only thing running, and are setup in a way where FPS is a very apparent and visible target...Look on archive.org

and like, sure there's a bunch of games where there's an necessary frame or two of input latency. but generally videogame people are the ones who are gonna pick up on that stuff and try to fix it, even if it does make the code uglier.Permalink Look on archive.org

idk, I am generally pretty pleased with Flutter's performance, but as I work with it I do feel slightly adrift being quite so far away from a sense of "how long does a frame take". I know the answers are in there, I'm just at the other end of a big pile of abstractions.Permalink Look on archive.org

(tweeting this has made me conclude that it is too much, but that I probably can't do better until the custom shader support gets a bit better. at which point I can spend a day or two rabbitholing & basically eliminate those milliseconds)Permalink Look on archive.org
