Update: mARine Performance Optimization (Predator AI)

[Adhish Gupta]

Hi,

I wanted to share a quick update on my progress.

To better understand the Catrobat codebase and workflow, I explored the mARine project and contributed a small performance optimization to the Predator (Shark) AI system.

This resulted in a noticeable improvement:

• Frame rate: ~43 FPS → ~95 FPS
• CPU frame time: ~22.8 ms → ~10.5 ms

PR: https://github.com/Catrobat/mARine/pull/6

Working on this helped me better understand performance considerations and real-time constraints, which I’m incorporating into my proposal.

I’d appreciate any feedback whenever convenient.

Thanks,  
Adhish Gupta
