Chapter 7 ■ The Foundation of Game Play Loop: The JavaFX Pulse System and the Game Processing Architecture
Figure 7-10. At the end of the .start() method, instantiate the gamePlayLoop object by using the Java new keyword
The logic of this code placement (at the end), is to set up all your static objects, in terms of creation and
configuration, and then create the dynamic object at the end that will be processing the pulse-related logic.
Profiling the GamePlayLoop Object: Running NetBeans Profiler
Let’s run NetBeans Profiler, using a Profile ➤ Project Profile menu sequence, to determine if you can see the
GamePlayLoop object that you have created in any of the profiling views. As Figure 7-11 demonstrates, the
GamePlayLoop call takes less than 2 milliseconds to set up the GamePlayLoop object in memory for your use,
using very little overhead.
Figure 7-11. Use a Profile ➤ Profile Project menu sequence to start the Profiler and look at GamePlayLoop memory use
