Did some tweaks to get that capx working. This can draw a third as many sprites as NW.js can and have the same performance on my pc.

On this latest test I could get around 400 sprites on screen at a solid 60fps. 850@ 40fps,1000@ 20fps. Then drops off sharply after that.

On my system I see a much bigger discrepancy. In any case,it's definitely CPU bound, as my cpu is what maxes out:

rojoWrapper: ~1,000 object —

node 10.5 (keep on keeping on): ~25,000 objects —

Very interesting, cool stuff. Performance is my main gripe with Construct 2, too.

Not much progress as of late. The culprits are technical difficulties mainly, so I have to change my approach.

It's a cool idea, but I don't have enough time for such a project. Python would be a cool language for the editor, but no so much for speed in the game itself. I'm using it here because it has allowed be to make the wrapper fairly quickly, but the side effect is it runs slower.

Well according to benchmarks JavaScript is anywhere from 3 to 60 times faster than python.

Python is still garbage collected and yes it can be used for games, even 3d ones. Usually though for 3d the engine part is made in C and python is used for the scripting parts that don't need to be fast as possible.

I have, but I'm wrapping the html5 api to sfml. It's not an issue using a graphics library since I'll only be using a small subset of it. The issue currently is I haven't been able to build the V8 library yet.

That game seems to go fast, but I have no idea if it's faster.

Because it's interpreted. So is Javascript for that matter but it's faster because portions of the code is compiled to machine code when it's run.

With some programming languages you can, but with python and js you can't, at least not fully.
