How to make my function more efficient?

[dthecoolest]

Alright yeah that’s true researching further into it again

Are 2D/3D arrays faster than 1D arrays in Lua?

(Was gonna post this last night but the devforum was messed up) You’re only measuring creation of pretty small tables. I ran some more extensive tests on 10,000x10,000 tables with random elements. It was (kinda) interesting: Lua test

code

local w, h = 10000, 10000 local startTimer, endTimer; do local start; function startTimer() start = os.clock(); end function endTimer(name) print(string.format("%s took\t%.1f ms", name, 1000*(os.clock() - start))); …

But yeah my point still stands with reducing the number of indexing and logic or statements if you really want to go with this micro-optimization.

The Basics Of Basic Optimization

8/27/2019: A lot has changed within the past 3 years. With the introduction of the new Lua Virtual Machine, some of these optimizations are now made by Roblox and are no longer needed. This includes: Direct table indexing (like table.index) table[index] is unaffected, mostly Storing of global references (like local sqrt = math.sqrt) Make sure you profile your code as well since changes you make could have no affect. This tutorial is meant to cover a more basic form of optimizing of cod…

i’m trying to add as many optimizations as possible

These questions are interesting but I always end up regretting researching it, always like 1 ms difference for a lot of work.
