Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

(

)

... that a developer on Serious Sam: The Second Encounter doubled its frame rate by removing one line of code? Source: “During the development of TSE, we had some issues with framerate, mostly in our newly built particle system. I managed to single-handedly DOUBLE our framerate just by deleting a duplicate line of code that was making everything render twice (which I introduced into code in the first place)!” ("15th anniversary of Serious Sam: The Second Encounter"; ref #13 in the article)
