5. Limit Garbage Collection

Frequent garbage collection can cause performance hiccups. Reduce unnecessary object creation and table allocations to minimize the impact of garbage collection.

—Limiting garbage collection

collectgarbage("setpause", 100)

collectgarbage("setstepmul", 200)

6. Optimize Asset Loading

Loading and unloading assets efficiently is crucial. Use texture atlases, compress assets, and load resources asynchronously to reduce load times and memory usage.

—Asynchronous asset loading (coroutine example)

function LoadAssetsAsync()

for _, asset in ipairs(assetsToLoad) do

local loaded = LoadAsset(asset)

coroutine.yield(loaded)

end

end
