Adam D. Ruppe:
I got as high as 45 fps using that trick plus the dmd -inline
-release -O -noboundscheck flags. (The original code without
flags and without final gave me only 30 fps).
Compiled with dmd, on my slower PC I see about 37 fps on the
original code. Using ldc2 on the same code I see 53 fps. Using
the pointers with ldc2 I see 68 fps.
And with a bit more cache-friendly data structure:
alias World = Cell[worldSide][];
I see 74 fps with ldc2 with pointers.
On Windows Vista the the window close X button on the top right
doesn't work, and I have to use the close from the window menu on
the top left.
