Description

This sample code demonstrate multiple steps in improving the performance of a NSView based worm game. It demonstrates several versions of a WormView class that improve the performance of updating the view. The improvements include using setting the view as opaque; drawng only the necessary portions of the view; usage of Cocoa text system instead of NSString for faster string drawing; and using a periodic timer to update the view.
