2022.01.27. Another video in my creation of a simple engine from scratch within the MonoGame (XNA) framework. This video showcases the following:

- simple object pool usage for both enemies and player bullets
- basic optimizations in the object pool: be smart about which objects are active, keep this tight, and only check a minimal subsection that is required
- basic optimizations in collision: don't check every bullet against every enemy, every frame, but it's still brute force, and awaits massive optimizations
- new player bullet sprite
- player is firing 2 bullets at 240 Hz
- object pool does not respect ordering, as you can see with bullet rendering artifacts
