1024x512 = 524288, that's over half a million and they're all visible. So far, they don't carry more individual properties than a position and a motion vector, but i could easily imagine to add another texture for that, and at some point i will also go for more life-like entities with adjustable distributions of status and needs values too, maybe to model behavior in a dynamic system of hunters and gatherers, you know. Give them very basic intelligence, intents, and planning. I had also thought of using a physics simulation for a skeleton model and neural nets for sensors and actuators. But I'm drifting away and I'm helpless in god-mode. Statistics is computationally heavy and i won't add anything like that too soon. It is and will be an abstract cat toy.
