Official continuation of Destination Sol, the great fun little arcade space shooter from http://sourceforge.net/projects/destinationsol/ Modules live at https://github.com/DestinationSol/
This pull request makes some small optimisations to frequently-called parts of the code.
The SolContactListener class should no longer attempt to re-retrieve SolGame from the game context in response to every collision.
DrawableObject now uses the instance of DrawableManager cached in SolGame, rather than retrieving it from the context every update.
It also applies a fix to clamp sound effect volumes to a range of [0, 1]. Values outside of this range are not supported by libGDX and actually cause some sounds to not play at all on one of my Android devices.
Testing
Follow the reproduction instructions in #556. There should be slightly less stuttering during rapid collisions.
Notes
The DrawableManager fix was based on profiling an Android build and may not neccessarily be a significant factor in overall performance.
