I’m now about to embark on the painful process of converting a project I have made in Java2D to LWJGL. Before I start, I have one question.
How “bad” is it to keep binding new textures?
People keep saying how much faster it is to have multiple sprites in a single texture and draw different parts of that texture. But if I’m just making a 2D tile-based game, how necessary is that, really?
Will I run into problems with 60fps when I’m binding 100 textures each frame? 1,000? 10,000?
Is keeping everything in one texture really THAT worth it?
