You can now deploy your projects to all desktop platforms over SSH, as well as run a remote debug session similar to what we already offered for Android and Web. As the number of remote debug options is quite big by now, we’ve packed them neatly in a single drop-down menu ( GH-63312 , GH-70701 ). Jump to the Downloads section.

Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Physics pushes data to Rendering.
