We want to start making the game very slow so that we kind of feel good about ourselves when we go to optimize it.

55:04ifingerbangedurcat Will the memory footprint keep getting bigger? There's so much raw pixel data being stored right now, is this a concern at all, will we be compressing data to save ram? I imagine not, but it still feels like we're using too much memory for just a 2D game. Correct me if and because I'm wrong

58:01waterlimon Are the ground chunks stored in some data structure (e.g. hash map or grid) or are they recalculated each frame (I was wondering, because ground chunk knows its position, but wouldn't that be implicit in its position in the data structure)?

1:01:04robrobby hen all RAM (even on GPU) is used, when the game is put into background (switching a short time to another application) all the memory has to be swapped in and out, right, even to the GPU? Or what strategy is used to prevent swapping in and out of big memory chunks?
