GameMaker: Microtester

Performance tester/comparator for GameMaker
And other reasons to avoid overusing reflection

On this fine day I have published the project that I use to compare relative performance of different approaches to algorithms. It aims to get a few things right with this:

  • Tested scripts are re-shuffled between runs to lower execution order/CPU cache bias.
  • Script call time can be excluded if you are comparing approaches rather than actual scripts.
  • Easy to use - you add scripts that you want tested to the project, specify how you want them to be called, and that's it.

The project can be found on GitHub.
