How large can a room be without creating problems like lag?
« on: April 05, 2016, 01:06:08 PM »
If I want to make a room with a lot of screens, how many screens or pixels is the limit until the game starts to have any problem like lag? For instance, is a room sized 3200 x 2432 pixels (16 screens) risky? Thank you!

I think it's less an issue of room size and more an issue of objects and are those objects running step events or alarms so it depends on what you're putting in the room. You an always give it a shot and check the fps to see how it's holding up.

tip : When debugging, you should probably lower the process priority of the game or something, to simulate computers worse than yours
I have to admit, i still haven't beaten IWBTG

Does the real fps need to be at least 50 to be considered good?

Yes. The FPS should equal the room speed (50 for fangames). If it dips below that you have a problem.
