Yesterday, I realized I could transform a Scenegraph DAG structure into a flat list, and iterate over that each frame.
Today, I realized I can do a lot better than that. I can actually generate bytecode from that structure, turn it into a function, and call that function for each frame.
Wow. This is really cool, fun stuff. It provides immediate, obvious optimizations. I've effectively unrolled a render loop and removed all the dispatch mechanisms from my inner loop.
Fortunately its quite easy to do, using the PEAK ByteCodeAssembler and the 'new' module in the standard library. This part of the PEAK documentation was the most helpful.
I'll post some code soon, I promise. :-)
