Amiga programmers amazingly did things in assembly language. The Amiga only had a Motorola running at 7. Game developers couldn't take advantage of computing power like they can today. Most developers were forced to write in assembly and came up with some very smart routines to make a game as efficient as possible. I should mention that back then, there weren't teams of people working on a game - it would have only been a few individuals. Assembly language just isn't an option today due to how complex modern games have become which I find stunning also.
My favorite Amiga game is Silkworm - it runs amazingly smoothly considering it's size fits on an KB disk and the system resources available:. Minecraft on the other hand is Java based. Java, like any programming language has pros ie. I presume the Minecraft developers chose Java mainly because of it portability and ease of use. Ask dinnerbone, he'd know about the optimisation. Used to play on his server before mojang hired him to work on the code!
I'd recommend reading this , its about javascript, but the conclusions about the virtual machine and the language being designed to be safe not necessarily fast apply to java as well. Also I can think of a few points that may also be an issue:. If less can't be used it should be laid out so that relevant memory should be closer together. This will perform very slowly because the xs are not next to each other, they have a huge block of as in the way.
If I split up the datastructure like the following it would be much faster, as the CPU won't load the as into its cache. Java is garbage for many reasons but not because the runtime is inefficient. It's mostly the Java UI libraries being slow and inefficient giving the impression to people that everything written in Java runs like garbage but, depending on what you do, the speed can be almost indistinguishable from native code.
Remember that there are many AAA games written in managed code that don't have any performance issue. Amiga was so ahead of its time. Could do so much more and the games where way better than what apple or pc had back then.
Those who had an amiga back then would remember this. Search In. Share More sharing options Followers 0. Recommended Posts. Iris is a technical writer with a passion for new tech.

If this was an open source game, there might be answers that are more than just speculation but still too broad.
