### Profiling your code
Another important aspect of development is to profile your code. Not just to see how slow your new routine runs; the profiler will catch every error masked due to empty try-catch blocks. It will tell you when you are generating 2000 objects a second. Your new branch might appear to be running fine but have *hidden issues*.

There are many choices available free and otherwise for Java profilers. We have tried most. The Profiler of choice for the Magicbane team is [YourKit](https://www.yourkit.com/). The game has built-in support for profiling as it does debugging.
`./mbstart.sh -profile`
The YourKit agent is not being shipped with the image. Choice of profiler is the perrogative of your team.
