Sure, one event listener would also work. You could use the target property then. But not even that is required, since you could determine the clicked tile by calculating the index by using the mouse coordinates given by the event. That would allow you to use some light-weight components like Shape for your tiles, or draw the tiles directly to a bitmap.

| May 24, 2011 at 12:52 | comment | added | Sean | The enemies on the path just stop or move slow. I wanted to start optimizing the code. Mouse Events are one of the first things I thought of. Another thing that might be slowing down my game is the sorting of the enemies. When a wave appears, the enemies in the wave are put into an array. I have enemies that are faster than others so they will pass enemies on the path. I want my towers to shoot whichever enemy is in front. To do this, each time my game updates, I find the distance traveled and sort the enemies with a bubble sort depending on which one moved the furthest. | |
