    [JASS] Performance analysis of 'leaking' Jass strings & Lua

    Common knowledge has it Jass strings leak!!!1 and are bad!!!1 Let's benchmark by generating A TON of strings. Test code & setup The code below takes your chat message, like "-10" and generates ONE 10-char long string (1=10/10). That's equivalent to generating 10 distinct unique strings in Jass...

    Dual-channel RAM, Reforged, SC2 and other RTS games.

    [Solved] Any advice/tips/examples on how to improve map performance when dealing with many units.

    Edit: I managed to fix most of all of my issues. I had previously posted a Loop I was making that ran poorly when dealing with multiple units but I sorted it out with a dynamic recycling indexer. Guess it's not a good idea to loop through EVERY single unit, even one's that are no longer used.

    [JASS] Dead Trees - Destructibles Recycled/Replaced with Static Effects

    Hello, I thought this might be an interesting idea to bring up here. As most of you know, destructibles cause an addition into the game's lag performance, the more destructibles are added, the more the game is forced to send updates every second to check wheter these destructibles are dead or...
