[F4-users] Status and future thoughts

[J. P. <ja...@37...>]

I've finished my first pass on my vehicle dynamics stuff (separate 
project), so I can get back to the engine development for a while. Not 
that I ever really got away from it...I've got the core and script 
services running under Linux, along with a new memory manager. I had 
heard that pooling same sized allocations would give a net speedup over 
the standard allocators but I didn't realize how much: a test of 10M 
random allocations and frees took 9+ seconds instead of 28+.

I have also started a new page of stream-of-thought ramblings on the 
design ideas. I'm working on a new and improved scene/entity management 
scheme now. I'll be adding more over the next few days but you can see 
it now at http://www.379.com/f4/design.html. Thoughts and comments 
welcome as always.
