What would you recommend to be taught under the Advanced section?

Kai, what is with you and precalculation anyway? Either way, graal must calculate it, whether precalculated or not, precalculation just adds another few bytes to the memory
Evidently you don't understand the principle behind it (probably a good reason to attend the class ).

BAD:

NPC Code:

function drawLights(){
for(i=0;i!=lightcount;i++){
showimg ic,light2.png,this.lightx[i],this.lighty[i];
changeimgcolors ic,1,1,1,sin(this.time)*(1/this.ambient);
}
}



GOOD:

NPC Code:

function drawLights(){
temp=sin(this.time)*(1/this.ambient);
for(i=0;i!=lightcount;i++){
showimg ic,light2.png,this.lightx[i],this.lighty[i];
changeimgcolors ic,1,1,1,temp;
}
}




You can't see that the latter is more efficient?
