Preparation code

 
<script>
  Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {
    var playerObj = {
      pos: {
        x: 0,
        y: 0
      }
    };
    
    var Point = function(x, y) {
      this.x = x;
      this.y = y;
    };
    
    var playerObjWithConstructor = {
      pos: new Point(0, 0)
    };
    
    var playerArray = {
      pos: [0, 0]
    }
    
    var tmpStorage = 0,
      POS_X = 0,
