How many lines of code need to be in a loop to notice a slow down on most computers? Like if there were 1000 lines in a do loop, would that slow down?? Ive always been curious about that.

Try it, lol. 1000 lines shouldn't be a problem for most machines these days. Obviously the tighter the loop or loops in your game, the better.

Really depends on what the code is doing in the loop. For instance, chucking a single Set Text Font in a loop will destroy your fps. You'd be absolutely insane to do this. This is where experimentation (like this) comes into play so we can optimize stuff.

A dream is a fantasy, if you achieve that fantasy it was never a dream to begin with.
