Which method is faster?

[rogeriodec]

If I will draw a sequence of 1000 rectangles, which would be better (and faster): to have 1 RectangleShape and make 1000 draws, or have an array of 1000 RectangleShapes and make 1 draw?

[Stauricus]

probably faster having 1000 rectangle shapes and make one draw, but how would you do it?
for every shape, you would need to call

render_window.draw(rectangle_shape[n]);

so, it's 1000 draws anyway.

on the other hand, you could use a single VertexArray instead of 1000 RectangleShapes, an then you could really draw everything in one call.

You are right, thanks.
