Refactor Game Loop #39

Open lobabob opened 8 years ago

lobabob commented 8 years ago

The Logic Loop currently uses SetInterval which is not very consistent. This needs to be fixed.

lobabob commented 8 years ago

Web Workers are probably our best bet for the logic loop. Web workers will run asynchronously and not block the render loop.

Won't Web Workers use something like setInterval still though?

lobabob commented 8 years ago

This has been changed to be part of the grand refactoring.

Use (http://www.isaacsukin.com/news/2015/01/detailed-explanation-javascript-game-loops-and-timing) as a source

lobabob commented 8 years ago

This also includes refactoring how calcInterval for Player works

Also, we can do web workers when they're actually needed. Web workers are currently overkill for our super simple game loop
