WORKFLOW
Workflow first& then performance
Test earlyFirst build in 2 weeks
Test oftenOne or two builds per week
PrototypeFrom concept & design

GAME LOOP
Optimiseyour game loop
Object PoolingMinimise garbage collection
Spread& interpolate over frames
TIME
Frame RateIndependent
requestAnimationFrame
deltaTimeSince the last frame
Multiply by
deltaTimeto update values
per secondinstead of per frame
Cap deltaTime< 0.1 second

MATH
QUATVEC MTRX
VECTORS
VectorsRepresent position, direction,
velocity, acceleration, forces…
( x, y, z )Not very intuitive on multiple axes
object.positionLocal position
object.scaleLocal scale
|a|Magnitude
|a| = 1Normalized
+
DOT PRODUCT
Dot Product
|a| |b| cosDot Product
CROSS PRODUCT
+
Cross Product
|a| |b| sinCross Product
QUATERNIONS
QuaternionsRepresent rotations
object.quaternionLocal rotation
Multiply quaternionsto rotate a vector or another rotation
Slerp quaternionsto interpolate rotations
Avoid Euleron multiple axes
MATRICES
MatricesRepresent transformationsi.e. position, rotation, scale
object.matrixLocal transform
object.matrixWorldGlobal transform
Multiply matricesto transform a vector or another matrix
Transform methodslookAt, translateXYZ, rotateXYZ,
localToWorld, worldToLocal
OBJECTS
HIERARCHY
GROUPS
PIVOTS
Children methodsgetDescendants, traverse
Helper ObjectsArrow, Axis, Bounding Box,
Camera, Grid, Lights
MESHES
GeometryBuild your own
Vertex ColorPaint, bake or create in code
TEXTURES
Mip MapsSmaller versions of the texture
Offset & RepeatTransform textures
AnisotropyFix mip map artifacts
WrapRepeat, Clamp, Mirror
Clamp WrapFix artifacts on texture seams
RGBAUse all channels
LIGHTS
Dynamic LightsReal-time surface illumination
Baked LightsBetter quality & performance
LightmapsGlobal illumination
Vertex BakeQuality depends on geometry
CAMERA
Avoiddefault camera settings
Near PlaneOcclusion & fill rate performance
Far PlaneHorizon pop up & removed geometry
FRUSTUMCULLING

GPU CPU
GPU
GPU?Faster in lower res
GPUMany pixels, fill rate bound
CPU
CPU?Faster with objects disabled
CPUMany objects, many draw calls
DRAW CALLS
Minimisestate changes & draw calls
BatchingCombine meshes with same material
Batch StaticAlways combine static objects
Combine MaterialsUse vertex & textures to differentiate
Texture AtlasCombine textures
Multiple PassesMultiple draw calls
SHADERS
Objects < Vertices < Pixels
VertexInstead of fragment
PrecissionColors & normals
Alpha TestInstead of Alpha Blend
Fragment MathAvoid pow, sin, cos
Vector MathDot & Cross Product
LOD
Level of detailSimpler far away objects
Optimisedgeometries or materials
Sprites& particle systems
Skybox & Ringsfor very distant objects
MOBILE
Mobile < Desktop
Low Polycount> 500
OverdrawDepends on the GPU
Fill RatedevicePixelRatio
UpscaleFor higher resolutions
DownscaleFor higher quality renders
Simple ShadersMinimise fragment complexity
No BumpsAvoid normal mapping
No LightsAvoid dynamic lighting or shadows
No FogOnly on vertex shader
No PostAvoid full screen effects

AUDIO
WEB AUDIO
AudioProcessing & analysis
Audio NodeWeb Audio API building block
Panner Nodefor positional audio
Logarithmicscale for spectrum analysis

Each keyon its own
Combinekeys to create axes
MOUSE
