Definitely. The use of object pools for performance is common in game development regardless of language.

It's something that I tend to add in as needed or when I have decided that a game I'm working on warrants this level of engineering. (i.e. I wouldn't care about it as much if I'm just programming pong or Tetris.)

Awesome thanks for the advice. Maybe one day I'll get around to making that video game I wanted to make 15 years ago. :D

Good luck! Game development is what got me addicted to coding to begin with! :)
