-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i'm not looking for people to split the work and get things done faster, i'm looking for people to think about how and why things should be done.
for example, right now i have a record called gameentity which contains a position, the current health, speed, the polygon representation which should be rendered and a few more things - but haven't figured out yet where to put the logic and how to apply it so that everything is easily extensible Am 31.10.2011 15:44, schrieb Timothy Baldridge: > I once wrote a test game engine that handled used a one-agent per > entity approach, and the idea was that it "should" be close to > linearly scale-able.
