Title: Scene management
Post by: DerR on September 16, 2007, 09:22:10 am

I recently saw the trailer of the level editor. Very interesting.. I love how you can add tiles arbitary instead of a fixed grid. I'd like to know how you do the scene management to handle collisions and AI? It seems the entities are very active, even when the player is not nearby. I'm very interested in the theory behind that being a hobbyist game developer myself. :)

I think I just missed it...

There's nothing really complex going on, some entities just stop updating once they're far away from the player. The big levels can get a bit intensive on slower computers.
