Yeah, go check out some Factorio screenshots. Thousands of interactive objects animating on screen at once. Not only that, there is a complex sim running in the background. On my machine it runs well past 100fps.
- Ekaros 4y agoOr 2d strategy games. Which had very decent number of animated units each with their own actions and which you could click and select...
- jusssi 4y agoIt took the devs years to optimize it to that point though. And I'm quite sure that a screen full of trees or smoke emitting entities (thankfully you can turn smoke/steam off in settings) still makes it go below 60fps on my laptop.
- dmitriid 4y agoOptimize, yes. But then... It's doing several (hundreds) of orders of magnitudes more than a typical app.
- LoganDark 4y agoSeveral hundreds of orders of magnitude more? That doesn't sound possible.
- dmitriid 4y agoThat was an exaggeration but only slightly I guess :) Considering how many objects and interactions Factorio tracks and at the same time lets you move around, inspect any of those things etc. A typical app on the other hand does a CRUD operation every once in a blue moon.
