Hi everyone, If most of the objects in our game have a circle collision shape as apposed to a polygon shape, will the game have less lag? Thanks, Danny
There is a small performance gain by using circles instead of a polygon, but it's all relative. There are many other things that will affect performance, perhaps by a lot more. Just a few objects being changed from polygon to circle would probably not make any noticeable difference unless there were thousands of copies of the objects used in the game.
Just out of curiosity, does a collision shape affect performance if it's not used and the object is set to decoration? Say I have thousands of objects that never collide but all have 8 sided collision shapes, would it increase performance to change them all to circles even though they're never tested for a collision?
