- Instead of redrawing the world every 0.05 cycle, check if the player has moved or tilted his viewpoint and only redraw the world if required. Would increase fps by loads!


I bet if you did both of the above, drawing floors wouldn't be that laggy either.

With the not rendering unless movement is inputted, could potentially increase the speed, not sure though..

This is exactly what I thought.

Would have to be something external.
