Explore game programming concepts and profiling techniques in this lecture from the COMP4300 Game Programming course. Dive into topics such as singletons, code profiling methods including event-based, statistical, and instrumentation profilers, and hands-on demonstrations using Visual Studio profilers. Learn to implement a C++ code timer class, discover visual code profiling with chrome tracing, and understand the creation of a custom profiler class. Gain practical insights through live coding demonstrations focused on A3 profiling, and master the use of macros for efficient profiling in game development.
