Armadillo Run leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Swapper leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Armadillo RunThe Swapper
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Armadillo Run leans harder on variance: Physics is deterministic once a structure is built
Optimization9 vs 8
Armadillo Run leans harder on optimization: Designing efficient physics structures within budget is the whole game
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
