Daft question

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Daft question

When using minib3d I am finding that using

Surf.AddVertex(.....) is faster than AddVertex(Surf,.....)

Infact generally this method method is faster everywhere.

Are all functions available in this method way?

Thanks
Jim

Some of them are, you can look the function's source up in c:\program files\blitzmax\mod\sidesign.mod\minib3d.mod\inc\tglobal.bmx and functions.bmx in the same folder.
If a function contains only for example surf.addvertex(..), then sure you can use this method instead.

The same is also true for most other modules. The procedural interfaces often wrap the object oriented ones and so are just a useless (tiny) overhead. Eg. SortList calls list.Sort.
