I couldn't find anywhere in the documentation what the max number of tiles in a VSP is, and I never tested this limitation myself. I was just thinking about the feasibility of one large vsp that all maps would use. But then again, this might be inefficient for memory purposes.

No upper limit. Your tileset's limited by your own computer's memory, not by a hardcoded value. It's dynamically sized. The ONLY things with upper limits are the damn entitiy system and sprite system. And those should really be merged into one system and use a std::vector or something instead.

It's about one int per pixel of tile, that means 16*16*4 = 1024 bytes per tile, which isn't TOO bad considering the amount of RAM in a standard machine. 1kb per tile seems a little big internally but should be okay as long as you don't have way over 1000 tiles or something.

Thanks, that's good to know. So basically 1MB per 1000 tiles... Shouldn't be a huge issue unless someone's running a really old machine.

Or you're running VERGE on a more restricted platform like the GP2X.
