A Board is basically a playing field for which the game can take place in.

Limitations

  • Boards can range in size from 1x1 to a massive 32767x32767
    • Extremely large boards will consume a massive block of memory. A board with the maximum dimensions would consume over 3 GB of memory.
    • The BoardScan is a somewhat expensive routine that scans every square of the board every cycle for built-ins. The larger the board, the bigger the performance impact it can have on your game on slower computers. A good rule of thumb is to try to make boards not much larger than 1000x1000 in area.
  • All boards must have one and only one instance of the player object.
