RPG Maker Forums
I've noticed that I see occasional minor hitches. To be specific: the framerate will sometimes drop from 60 FPS to 58 of 57 for a few frames. It's not debilitating, but it's just enough that scrolling when walking hitches slightly noticeably. It bothers me and I wanted to see if I could figure out a root cause.
I have made very extensive changes to huge portions of the ruby engine for RPG Maker VX Ace. I can send along a project containing them all, but I suspect it would take days to read and understand the entirety of it. Moreover, the code organization is not awesome because the lack of good project-wide 'find usage' - or find at all
- makes refactoring or moving code unappealing. And, even once you understand it all, figuring out why it hitches occasionally is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
A profiler, however, might give me some insights into whether any of the code I've added could be hitting degenerate cases or is simply performing expensive operations each frame that I didn't realize.
I presume that the RPG Maker folks themselves don't sell or offer one, but I'm happy to use any generic ruby profiler if it would work. I figured I'd ask whether there's a selection of choice before trying to just 'attach' something random from the internet.

Quick tip for any other ametuer pixel artists! When trying to create a colour palette, enabling Antialiasing can speed up the process of creating different shades! Just place your lightest colour and your darkest colour next to each other, select both pixels, and stretch it out!
