What's the purpose of usage array of std::list of pointers in game class? #4277

As in the title. Then it is being filled on random positions.

Why such array of list is used and then filled like that? What are the benefits?

to avoid looping all creatures at once, it would take more time and probably lag

Isnt TFS single threaded after all? Anyway no matter of container type (or container usage like there?) it will be proceeded one by one. Am I right?

yea thats exactly why we dont loop everything at once, to avoid it being too slow and delay the single thread
