3 – Build now, optimize later – this is the most absurd thing you can do when creating your game. Why should you build your game, spend 1 year on it, and then go back through everything you did to tweak the code and the settings to optimize it? 5 Overusing cameras, especially on mobile devices. Just think about it.

This implementation handles spatial indexing of objects and, every frame, building a render list of objects drawn. Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come. This ensures great compatibility with all desktop PCs, mobile devices and WebGL 2.
