I'm just using a traditional single-dementional integer array. If
I'm reading your message correctly, each value requires 4 bytes?

From: Thomas Ward Well, that depends on a number of factors. The type of array, the
size
of the array, if it is multidimensional, etc.
Hi Davy,
Yes, Java 1.6 and Java 1.7 are definitely much faster these days. the
only time Java apps are a bit slow is during a cold boot of the JVM,
but after that Java apps are nearly as fast and sometimes faster than
the native binaries.
Cheers!

Hi John,
Well, that depends on a number of factors. The type of array, the size
of the array, if it is multidimensional, etc. However, If you had a
standard integer array of 1024 elements that would be equal to 4112
bytes, or approximately 4.1 MB of memory. That's just one dimension.
If you have a
l way to go, but I'd
understand if that was beyond you right now (I'm no good with math myself).

Hi John,
Depends on how you implement it, and how advanced you intend to go
with your movement system. If you stick to simple north, south, east,
west directions you should be fine. If you begin using angles then
your system is not able to handle anything that complex.

Hi,
Definitely not. In fact using array lists for game maps is really a
bad idea if a developer is concerned about memory and CPU efficiency.
Java isn't as slow as it use to be in the bad old days, but still a
game developer should really try to use a trig or calculus based

I understand the concept of creating a box like that; I just have
no clue how to implement it (which is why I'm staying as simple
as humanly possible). Would you happen to have an estimate of how

Hi John,
Honestly, you would be better off implementing a true collision
detection system which would use a lot less memory than a huge array
like that, and would also be more accurate. For examples find Cara
