[4.0 RC HTML5] - How Much Faster Will 4.0 Be After Optimizations?

JeZxLee

Hi,

To begin, thank you got making Godot.
I've been testing 4.0 since late Alpha version.

4.0 is not fast yet - seeing poor performance in HTML5 builds.
Can you give an estimate to how much percentage gain should be expected when Godot 4.0 is optimized?
As the saying goes: "Make it work, then make it fast".

Nice work!

P.S. - Desktops(Windows 11/Linux Mint 21.1) and Android mobile do not have any performance issues...

Sorry, to be specific: Godot 4 RC2 needs to be 2 times faster.

I don’t think anyone knows yet, optimizations are hard to judge and I do not think anyone on the forums is involved in Godot’s HTML development.

You may want to ask on the Godot chat on the Godot community page, as the developers who work on the HTML may be there and can possibly give a really rough figure for what may be possible.

To be honest, your game doesn't look that complex. I don't understand why it wouldn't be at 60 fps.

Godot might need further optimization, but there could also be something you are doing that is making it slow. Check the profiler.

IIRC they have shared the source on github before and they do a lot of micro management, like a looooot a lot. There's probably also a lot they could do to optimize their own code.

But advising as to what would require taking a deep dive into the codebase.

I don't have time to look at the code right now. I'm still recovering from COVID and I need to catch up on some work.

But even with that old computer, there is no reason a Tetris game can't be running at 60 FPS.

Hi,

We have updated the source code to "Release Candidate ZERO" on GitHub below:
https://github.com/BetaMaxHero/GDScript_Godot_4_T-Story

Just note we are running the HTML5 build in an Internet browser on a 10+ year old desktop.
We can perhaps optimize the source code a bit further, but was hoping Godot 4 devs could do it too.

When creating a project, optimizations are always done towards the end of development.
We are hoping for about a 2 times bump in performance on HTML5 in an upcoming Godot 4.0 RC...

Thanks!

Jesse
