    most of my friends still aren't on Core 2 Duos. the few who are are mostly Mac users (so still bad GFX). Don't assume 2GB of RAM will be available, but 1GB is probably reasonable.

    @BlinkOk:

    That sounds like it would be really, really slow, surely? Also, I'm not sure that their boundaries get updated as soon as you run the _rotation++; line - I think all coordinate changes...

    Ah yeah, that was a typo, but I don't believe that breaks my other line of code in any way.

    If we (as I intended) take alf%0 to mean (alf<0 ? -1 : 1), then surely that line,

    (alf<0 ? -1 :...

    @Never_land:

    Right. Thought there was a chance that Flash or Flash Player would be smart enough to simplify it like I did. It's the kind of thing that any good compiler would do for you.

    Untested, so I mighta made a mistake, but try:

    var reminder:Number=1;
    function fcos(alf:Number):Number {
    if (alf < 0) alf = -alf;
    if (alf > 180) alf = 180-alf;
    alf = alf>45 ?...

    Not gonna run any tests, but here's my two cents:

    It's probably not worth implementing clipping for small objects; let's say you have 5,000 small objects on-stage, chances are very few of them...

    Right. 'Dirty rectangles' refers to something related to damage mapping, I assume?

    And what's this about marking a class as Final?

    Maybe a linked list? So:

    objectsArray = [someObject0, someObject1, someObject2];
    depthsArray = [1, 3, 2];

    Indices of each array correspond to each other, so someObject0 is considered to be at...

    If your experience of game development is limited to dress-up games, then do yourself a favour and DON'T ATTEMPT a multiplayer game. I would recommend at least 3 or 4 years' experience...

    Auuugh~ 19 classes deep? But that sounds like you designed it pretty well. Mine only ever goes about 2 deep, and that's in extreme situations.

    Ah, when you're blitting sprites around a screen, the sprites you are plotting would be your 'bobs' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitter_object).

    Object-pooling is a way to avoid the slowdown...

    It's perfectly possible to do this in AS2, and I would recommend that for simplicity. It can also be done for free; most socket servers have a '10-users-connected' or so free demo.
