Chapter 6 ■ The Foundation of Game Design: The JavaFX Scene Graph and the InvinciBagel Game Infrastructure
Figure 6-13. Profiling the Scene Graph UI design thus far to make sure that it does not use any perceptible CPU cycles
As you can see in the Total Time column, on the right-hand side of the figure, the createSplashScreenNodes()
method takes 279 milliseconds, or approximately three-tenths of a second, to execute, and your Scene Graph is
created. The addNodesToStackPane() method takes approximately 3 milliseconds, or three one-thousandths of a
second, to execute.
If you look at the threads profiling output and click the UI button elements, you will see a blip of color appear
on the thread, showing the processing overhead of a button click, which, as you can see, is less than one-tenth of a
second per click (look at the Invocations column, on the far right, to see how many times I tested the button click
functions). I highlighted the threads view, where I clicked High Scores, and then the Legal and Credits button UI
elements (see Figure 6-14). As you can see in this view as well, the current design is using minimal resources.
