Optimising C Renderer #109

Closed olls closed 6 years ago

olls commented 8 years ago

Currently the C renderer is no different from the Python renderer in terms of speed (as far as I can tell...)

It's quicker driving the neopixels on a Pi definitely

OK, on my computer it almost seems slower... Would be good to optimise it anyway!

olls commented 8 years ago

It is definitely slower on my PC. There seems to be a bug in the differential output though, because it is reprinting more blocks than the python renderer on average.

We seem to have a memory leak somewhere as it gets very slow to open the pause menu or quit the game.
