A back and forth between cohorts:
Semaphore lock/unlock was chewing up 30% of total execution time. Synchronized list access took up another 20%. Switched to unprotected arrays + stupid simple access methods and quadrupled framerate. Fuck thread safety.
Which yielded the following response:

Silly Problems
Latest lamentation on why entity/entity collisions weren’t working:
// Do collisions in O(n^2)
for(int i=0; i < numEntities-1; ++i) {
if(entities[i] == null || !(entities[i] instanceof Touchable)) { continue; }
Touchable a = (Touchable)entities[i];
for(int j=i+1; j < numEntities; ++j) {
if(entities[j] != null || !(entities[j] instanceof Touchable)) { continue; }
Touchable b = (Touchable)entities[j];
if(a != b && a.collides(b)) {
a.touchedBy(entities[j]);
b.touchedBy(entities[i]);
}
}
}
See if you can spot the problem with the above (almost) pseudocode. See it?
if(entities[j] != null) { DERP! }
I’m going to bed.
