Re: suggestions on how to deal with destruction of a class?
The idea is this: it's an enemy base class, but some things are going to want to "cast" down the tree. That is, if a piece of code knows that enemy 53 is actually a tank and needs to do tank things to it, it&#x

If you think you need threads, I shudder to know what your engine will look like. Most non-3D games use exactly 1 thread only. Many giant webservers use exactly 1 thread only. Threads solve nothing in terms of complexity

Re: suggestions on how to deal with destruction of a class?
I don't follow what you're trying to say. Bgt's programming language is Angelscript, the FFI is not developed enough to let you talk to anything complicated, and therefore, yes, everything you do is Angelscript.

You're better off arranging the keys in your dictionary so you don't have to iterate through all of them, but if you really need to, use the get_keys method.
