26 objects at once.
A lot o.O (altough maybe not as much if you eventually switch to extremly large maps)

Exactly.  I will probably eventually switch to smooth-scrolling.  Also, each enemy counts as an object.

Well good luck with solving these issues. I'd help if I could but I doubt I'd be much help :P

I miscalculated.  The maximum number of objects would be 41 with that configuration.  I think.  Maybe.

Mhmm... if a 128x16 map had about 15 enemies, maybe it should be enough to add objects. For a room with loads of puzzles it might become problematic, though.

Well, whenever I want to swamp the player with zombies, I won't be able to have any objects.
Ravenholm should be fun to implement!  (Eeek!)

Im not worried about number of objects so much as the speed.  Is the engine fast enough to handle 40+ objects all going through dynamic rigid physics?

Nice!
A full physics engine with 64-bit precision however, is a little more complex.  I will do my best to compress it.
64-bit precision? I think something's wrong here...

I think he is referring to the fact that the positions for the characters are stored x64 internally, so the objects have more precision in movement and such.  (Kinda like fixed point methinks) although im not sure what the technical term is.

Ooops, I didn't mean 64-bit, I meant 64-pixel.  It has 64 units to the pixel for each object.

Wooo, necropost.
HL2: OC is back!  I'm taking a break from AWTI for a bit, and working more on this.  Axe now has more features to make this kind of thing easier.  I'm starting from scratch, and it will be glorious.
To Omnimaga's amazing spriters, I need an 8x8 headcrab, and a zombie.
