1. Use nonatomic properties for primitive types like floats to avoid locking. 2. Use CCArray instead of NSMutableArray for better performance in cocos2d. Iterate arrays using CC_ARRAY_FOREACH. 3. Use index access instead of indexOfObject to improve performance of lookups in for loops.

1. cocos2d performance tips

2. 1.
nonatomic !!
@property(nonatomic,assign) float altitude;

3. 2. NSMutableArray
NSArray CCArray
enumerator
for ( CellObject *object in objects ) {
...
}

4. cocos2d ( 0.9.x )
CC_ARRAY_FOREACH
CellObject *object;
CC_ARRAY_FOREACH(objects,object) {
...
}

5. for
for ( int i = 0;i < self.numObjects; i++ ) {
... hoge[i]
}
indexOfObject

6. 3.
float
count length

7. 4. float double

10. float xd = endpoint.x - startpoint.x;
float yd = endpoint.y - endpoint.y;
float comparedist = 100 * 100;
distance = xd * xd + yd * yd;
if (distance > comparedist) {

11. sqrt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root
float fast_sqrt(float number) {
long i;
float x, y;
const float f = 1.5f;
x = number * 0.5f;
y = number;
i = *(long*) &y;
i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
y = *(float*) &i;
y = y * ( f - ( x * y * y ) );
y = y * ( f - ( x * y * y ) );
return number * y;
}
