simple idea to implement quickly for 0ad21 : hardware benchmark

[JC (naval supremacist)]

 

I asked yesterday to bb (not bbleft)  what is the min configuration to play, he send me a link.

-> I read : 1 Ghz, 512 Ram , Geforce3  .. seriously ?  This would been maybe the minimum configuration for a 0ad10 , low settings, single player 1v1. 

Would it be possible to create a scripted scenario involving 8 AI with a rendered sea, garisonning boats, elephants, gaia, 8 armies, buildings destruction , massive battles

All this screnario will last 1 min and the frame rate will be recorded. This statistic will be submitted beside the CPU, GPU and RAM in order to create a report.  The dev team

will create a web page report of many computer configuration. So the dev team will know if the new game version is more optimised than before. And players can know if the future laptop they want to buy is powerfull enough to play 0ad. 

( Of course, the user has to close all other apps before launching the scenario-scripted benchmark)

For a22 or later. the game is in feature freeze.
