[Bug 138586] Re: Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down
There was a playable tetris game for the TI calculator like 20 years ago. But still someone has managed to have Gnome ship a version of that game since 2007 that isn't even playable on 2011's supercomputers. The culmination of social hacking! Even Excel Tetris on an Arduino beats the crap out of this implementation performance wise.

[Bug 138586] Re: Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down
Just played gnometris for the first time, and indeed with the Tango Shaded theme a lag is detectable at the lower levels, but from level 10 and up the game becomes unplayable, despite it taking only a little over 50% processor power (a rediculous amount for such a game, but at least it shows that it's not maxing out on my CPU - note that I have a single core Celeron 2.66GHz, so no hyperthreading issue). Even clicking the window's close button lags, and I get a force application quit pop-up. When selecting the Plain theme, the game is playable and the CPU stays around 12%. So it seems the game has some serious graphics issues. -- Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 138586] Re: Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down
jal, which version of GNOME/Gnometris are you using? With 2.28, the graphics engine seems to have bin ported to OpenGL. The lagging graphics issue of previous versions seems to have gone with that version. But I noticed that the new OpenGL animation leads to a lag of some milliseconds that make it hard to get through the upper levels. I think this is not a bug, but by design. Still it might be nice to have an option to disable the animation to get more precise control. -- Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Gnometris allows you to change block themes. This issue appears when I use the tango Tango Shaded theme. It doesn't happen when I use the Plain theme. I have a fast cpu so it's not a cpu usage issue. Also using top I was able to see that cpu usage stays low even when gnometris becomes unresponsive.

[Bug 138586] Re: Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down
The issue is that Gnometris is being very stupid about rendering - every frame it's rendering every single svg brick separately. This is why it gets slower with more bricks on the screen even when they're the same color.

I hope this is the same bug, otherwise I'll open a new one: In Gutsy, (with Compiz and XGL, ATI Card), I notices that this slow response ist so slow, that it even affects the following blocks: E.g., I have a block in the right position and speed up falling by pressing arrow down. Then sometimes even the following few blocks come falling down uncontrollable. Same with right or left. After some time, the keys hitted in the meanwhile are executed, i.e., when a block moved left and I wanted to get it right, the following blocks all move left, until suddenly one moves right.

[Bug 138586] Re: Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down
This (or something very similar) happens when there are many blocks on the screen - the more blocks, the slower it is. I can hear the CPU/GPU fans spinning like crazy.

The bug is a LOT easier to reproduce now that Gnometris levels have been fixed. Start a new game somewhere between level 6 and 9. Try to move the block from one side of the screen to the other - it is the exact opposite of smooth, especially when changing directions. You'll likely notice up to an entire second of lag here. -- Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-games in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Are you using compiz? I recall seeing this, and I think I was running compiz.

The problem is more obvious with heavy disk access and at higher game levels. -- Gnometris controls very unresponsive when keys are held down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-games in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
