How can I optimize performance in my Godot game?

There are several ways to optimize performance in Godot. You can start by reducing the number of draw calls, using lower resolution textures, and optimizing your scripts.

What are draw calls and why are they important?

Draw calls are commands sent to the GPU to render objects. Reducing them is crucial because each call has overhead, impacting performance.

How can I reduce the number of draw calls?

You can reduce draw calls by combining meshes, using texture atlases, and minimizing the number of unique materials.

Are there any tools in Godot to help with performance profiling?

Yes, Godot has a built-in profiler that allows you to monitor performance metrics, including frame time and memory usage.

Can you give me tips on optimizing scripts?

Certainly! Avoid using get_node() frequently, use signals instead of polling, and keep your logic in _process() minimal.
