| Hey guys ol' cruis here again with a quick question. If I have a list of objects in a list. Each object is an entity in the world, so say each object is a car. The draw is a method() so in my updateall function I have for local car:tcars = eachin list car.draw() I am wondering, this really means that each object is using its own draw method to draw itself correct? Is that a memory hog? I mean is it a best practice? Or should I use a function to draw car? So that all the cars in the list, are drawn by one function call, which is written to draw anything within the list. thanks |

| that is incorrect. A method in essence is a function. The only difference is that the method access the object fields directly and can only be accessed through the object itself. So if it's a function or a method, it will be just as efficient. Last edited 2013 |
