Application performance

[taagestorey]

Slow down and visual stuttering or flickering is fairly common during the level. It affects the background, player, enemies, platforms and sometimes the entire window.

Possible fixes for performance:
-Reduce uneeded loops.
-Simplify equations to contain fewer variables.
-Cacheing data.
-Use a profiler to pinpoint processing bottlenecks.

It seems to me like the program has been running pretty smoothly on my end (even my laptop). How is the most recent version running on your end @taagestorey ? And have you made contact with someone about optimizations yet?

It seems to run better in Eclipse than in the executable, which is frequently laggy during the level. I'm in contact with a few people who may able to help.
