  Its not that fragile. Pick nth, or the index should work for all objects.

  array(1).at(x)

  Presumably the 100 objects, but again it depends on what they are doing, before and after the collisions.

  Likewise if you have the one sprite with all the poly's moving around, that could add up as well.

  I think you are missing the point Urled. The point is to make a presence, not hide it.

  Kinda strange, you're running a dual core, but your gpu is only rated at shader v1.

  I guess that means its a notebook, which also means you are probably stuck with integrated graphics.

  One tip I can pass along is that in order to know where something is, you have to know where it isn't. The array object is very practical in that regard.

  If you use the index, its pretty easy to filter it.

  pick enemy closest

  Canvas uses the gpu to do the capture, so if part of the image isn't on screen, it cant be used.

  There is no fix, other than to use the draw actions.

  Also as you may have noticed canvas uses a lot of memory, so huge ones aren't suggested.

  Not sure if it will work, but you might try to filter the main ship out using an instance variable. But you would still need to reference the main ship's x,y, so you would need a couple other variables to store that.

  Like:

  sprite.variable("selected")=0 // main ship would be 1

  sprite pick closest to globalx, globaly

  The object is pretty bugged, the standard reply is not to use it. It's very unreliable.

  I mean is that the layout object, or another windows process?

  CC isn't made to do sub apps very well.

  You're going to have to be a little more specific as to what you are doing.

  As far as C2 is concerned, if the object exists in the layout, and is not destroyed, it has a reference.

  Well I ain't gonna add 1000 different objects just for a test. :P

  So yeah, 1000 instances of the same object.

  3 Frames each.

  Just remember instances don't add up as far as memory goes. What gets you is the cpu keeping track of all those objects.

  Those instances were static, if they were all moving, the frame rate would fall dramatically.
