Can you make this code more efficient?
Hi, I am attempting to make my netcode as efficient as possible. It is being used to update the state of each player in game. Here is what I'm currently doing. While this.udp.isReadable() ...

While I haven't timed any brightscript for my own applications, just a scan of your code would lead me to target a few things.
- Does udp.receive take a long time? How about receiving a large block (20*20=400) and looping over it so you only have to read from the network once
- Does object construction take a long time? Move 'params = {}' out of your loop and reuse it.
- Do you have to walk the player array for every update that comes in? Perhaps players should be an associative array where the key is 'id'. Then most likely you'll have C code in the brightscript interpreter finding the matching player for the update rather than having to walk an array and test the id for every entry.
