Firstly, I'm a noob, now that that's out of the way, I'm confident I can make what I'm trying to make which is an overhead rpg type game similar to Final Fantasy 3, the problem is that the code will be ridiculously inefficient.
My first question is how do I make multiple instances of the missile in the most efficient manner possible? Secondly, as you know if you've played an overhead rpg like FF3, the sprite changes when moving in different directions, what is the most efficient way of doing this in your opinion? Please use this code as an example, pretending Sieg is the main character. Lastly, what's the best way to do collision detection? What I did in this piece of crap game works for it but I imagine it would get very tedious to do with a sprite in an open world with multiple objects like trees and such around.
