Alright, I realised the other night that I was totally lost in my own code. I was writing code and just waiting for the error messages to see if I was doing it right. Bad, bad, bad. So, I decided to just do a rewrite, with a mind toward consistency, readability, and ... yeah, just kind of a rethink. For one thing, I'm going to be a little more lenient with my self about what's an entity and what isn't. I mean, I tried when I first started, making the screen an entity. It was a pain. Recently I tried to make the map an entity. I mean... will the map ever have an image of it's own, or get turned into a shoe or something like that? No? Then it really shouldn't be an entity.
Oh, another important lesson I learned the other night. If you're going to load an image into memory for every entity, don't make a 1024x1024 map filled with unique floor entities. Yeah... didn't think that one through.
So.. different topic for once. Just for fun. I
Crap... Gotta pick up my son from school. Until next time... :-)
