A frame-based profiler keeps track of overhead separately for individual frames in a game. This is useful to track down issues with inconsistent overhead (such as lag that appears only once in a few seconds) that are hard to detect with conventional profilers. Tharsis.prof is designed to be easy to use and lightweight. See the example below to get started. Note that this is still a work in progress. The API is not stable and there might be compatibility breaking changes in future. </div> <div class="section" id="getting-started"> <h1>Getting started</h1> Assuming you use <a class="reference external" href="http://code.dlang.org/about">dub</a>, add this line: <pre class="literal-block"> "tharsis.prof": { "version" : "~>0.5.0" } </pre> to the <tt class="docutils literal">"dependencies"</tt> in your project's <tt class="docutils literal">dub.json</tt>/<tt class="docutils literal">package.json</tt>. <ul> <li>Recording profiling data: <pre class="code d literal-block"> import tharsis.prof;
