Behaviour performance question

Does it make any difference if i have a bunch of object each with a bullet behaviour on it or have them all in a family with the behaviour on the family?

thats a good question and i hope anyone reply

Yes, it does make a difference. It's much easier for you to only manage one behavior and its settings.

But I guess you meant a difference in cpu load. If there is one, it won't be measurable. In both cases each object's spacial data has to be calculated.

Yeah i know that, but what i was wondering is, if there is another overhead processing for using more then one of the same behavior.

Thanks for replying.

As far as I know, it's identical. Adding a behavior to a family basically adds that behavior to every object that's in that family.

Great thanks, thats what i needed to hear

Thanks spongehammer that's a good read, i don't really have fps issues, i just get some jitters from the bullet behavior especially on the beginning of the layout, so i thought i'll ask just in case.

Here is a different performance question i have on my mind,

If i have a 128x128 sprite object and i stretch it in the layout to 256, does it consume memory as a 256 sprite?

Or in other words, is it the image size or the display size that sets the memory consumption?

sorry not to answer directly but Ashley explains it far better than i could <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
