I went in thinking about vector graphics and how fit this together, but seems like its all triangles underneath it all. This changes a lot how I think about this now. Thank you Felsir, your responses really cleared up some important information for me and I feel really happy that my need for progress was made on this issue. Cheers! | |

Such a box would be about 8 triangles. Mobile games today can push a couple of thousands while desktops may push millions of triangles per frame. | |
| Jan 29, 2016 at 14:37 | comment | added | user78360 | @Felsir: Using polygonal rectangles as outlines... I didn't think of that. Huh. Sounds a bit of a hacky and performance heavy way to implement that, so I'm concerned about using that technique for a very vital part of the game. Still, knowing that such an option exist is valuable on its own too. Thank you for mentioning it! : ) | |
| Jan 29, 2016 at 7:34 | comment | added | Felsir | What framework do you plan to use? The answer may depend on available techniques. Since you worry if polygons can provide this: yes, a box can be near infinitely this effctively resemble a line). A rectangle outline is basically four boxes used as a line (or two boxes, one textured and one used as a cutout. Again this depends on the available engine techniques. | |

| Jan 29, 2016 at 0:27 | comment | added | user78360 | I want to emphasize that lines, line edges and smooth, high performance circles are very important. Can polygons handle those? My understanding is that is something only vector graphics can do. | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 17:47 | comment | added | Nils Ole Timm | Janos, you should post that or something similiar as the answer. I was going to answer the same, but it seems disingenious when you've already posted it in a comment. | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 15:56 | comment | added | János Turánszki | I think you can achieve this with any graphics API or 3D engine/framework. Your vector graphics can be created from polygons, then you map a texture onto them. | |
