Game slowdown

#1 Post by SteelRazer »

Hello, this is more of a internal question than a problem, but I am curious if there is a slowdown or a noticeable pause when in a one click you would change 1000 or more variables from True to False and vice versa.

Yes, it will, but why on earth do you have so many variables and need to edit them all with a single button press?

Well, I don't have that many variables, I was just asking hypothetically. But thank you for the answer.

Basically, the more Python or Ren’py code that has to execute in response to an event, the longer the interface will “freeze” before doing the next update. That’s common sense. Whether that freeze is long enough to be noticed by the user is a separate question - that’s going to depend on how MUCH code as well as the performance of the platform the player is on.
