"line-level" is leftmost of the source code. (I thought my example code would clarify that.) My question is very clear, I think, I'm not sure why you guys are having so much difficulty understanding it. Sorry about that. I'm not trying to frustrate you, I just wish people would answer my questions. (I rarely get good answers on these mailing lists. I guess I made a mistake asking here.) Haven't I just given you one of the most profound statements of efficient game programming? Shouldn't you be grateful? Thank you for all your replies everyone I guess I'm not wanted here.
