I work out what changes are required to the scene by comparing the current data structure with the previous one, then change the scene accordingly. I'm currently employing a very naive strategy: if the data structure associated with a tree of nodes has changed, I remove all the child nodes and recreate them from the data structure. This works well for a relatively static world, and allows me to have around 50 moving NPCs in the scene and still maintain 60 fps on modest hardware. If I want more power, then I'd need a more sophisticated approach. For instance, I could construct a custom data structure that maintains a log of changes, then use that to mutate the jME3 node attributes that have changed. However, I suspect I'll hit other bottlenecks (such as the number of triangles my GPU can render) long before I need something quite that complex.

I'm using jME3 classes to save time, but I deviate from standard jME3 practise when it makes sense to do so. For instance, I don't use the AssetManager from the SimpleApplication object, because it makes more sense to have a global AssetManager. - James -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
