WOW, a blog entry!

Well I decided to finaly create it.. Maybe it's a bit late and not really useful anymore but there was some kind of "demand" for it…

So here it is: Perftest, a speed testing utility. - made for gamemaker 7.0

It's basically the same as the older version for gamemaker 6.1, even the speed didn't change a lot.. Only a few new functions added and I added a few extra tests: especially a lot of motion planning tests..

It still has all utilities from version 6…

I hope this performance test program gets a bit more popular than the older one, (which got only downloaded 60 times in 12 months..). But I don't have any expectations anymore, seems like the gamemaker community isn't interested in optimizing at all.

Well the program can be downloaded at the link above, and I suggest you read the document (or pdf file), and excel sheet before trying to run it… But for you lazy people

explains most important stuff: the loopspeeds, and as you can see a repeat statement is simply the fastest ("simple repeat" means a repeat statement without any counter/code inside it).

Anyway some of you might wonder why I post that little (or well I don't think anybody wonders, still I'll tell this):

Just nothing of interest for you guys happens at my life. I bet nobody is interested in hearing my latest new excersize for physics.

anybody interrested? guess not :P.

Well it's not that my study is that difficult: it's just that it's a lot, I'm almost whole day busy working and studying leaving little time for my gamemaker projects to be completed…

But I better start studying again: next week I'll have tentams. So everybody please take a small look at my perftest program, and I hope it will at least help anybody here :).
