The 1 Trillion Pixel Maze: My Decade-Long Obsession with C# Optimization - Davy Davidse

Davy Davidse shares his decade-long journey of optimizing a C# maze generator to handle a trillion pixels using memory and micro-optimizations.

Well... here we are... But as they say, better late than never. Join me on my "way over the top" adventure to be able to create a 1,000,000,000,000 pixel maze. I had to rethink maze generation algorithms, tackle memory optimizations, and relentlessly pursue the most obscure micro-optimizations. You will learn: * How mazes can be generated * How very large mazes can be generated * How mazes can be generated quickly * Probably at least one obscure C# feature :)
