📝 Document Gas Optimization Techniques for Dojo Games

🔍 Scope

Create comprehensive documentation for gas optimization techniques in Dojo Engine to help developers build cost-efficient on-chain games. This documentation should explain optimization strategies, Dojo-specific annotations, data type considerations, and smart contract design patterns that minimize gas consumption while maintaining functionality.

🔄 How to Implement the Issue

• Step 1: Research Dojo gas optimization best practices and Cairo-specific optimizations
• Step 2: Study #[IntrospectPacked] annotation usage and its impact on storage efficiency
• Step 3: Create documentation at client/pages/advanced-concepts/gas_optimizations.md
• Step 4: Explain gas concepts in blockchain context and why optimization matters for games
• Step 5: Detail optimization techniques: data type selection, storage patterns, event usage vs state changes
• Step 6: Include practical examples and before/after comparisons showing gas savings

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• New markdown page created at client/pages/advanced-concepts/gas_optimizations.md
• Clear explanation of gas optimization importance in on-chain games
• Detailed coverage of #[IntrospectPacked] and other Dojo optimization annotations
• Data type optimization strategies (u8 vs u256, packed structs, etc.)
• Event-driven architecture patterns for reducing state changes
• Practical examples with estimated gas savings comparisons

📸 Additional Context

Gas optimization is critical for on-chain games to ensure affordable gameplay and better user experience. This guide will help developers understand Cairo-specific and Dojo-specific optimization techniques essential for production games.

Hi Dojo team,

I’d love to contribute to the gas optimization documentation for Dojo. I have hands-on experience with Cairo and smart contract development, and I’ve written technical documentation that helps other devs get up to speed quickly. I understand how important gas efficiency is—especially in the context of on-chain games where every computation counts.

Here’s how I’d approach it:

Dig into Dojo and Cairo-specific optimization techniques

Break down concepts like #[IntrospectPacked], storage patterns, and event vs. state tradeoffs

Write clear, practical documentation with real code examples and before/after gas usage comparisons

Make sure the content is easy to follow and actually useful for developers building real games

I’m excited about what you’re building and would be thrilled to contribute to making Dojo even more developer-friendly.
