I turned wind on and it almost crashed my alienware. Judging by the smoothness of the flags, I think they have A LOT of tris each. But nice warmup entry anyway, I always get confused on where each state is located in the USA :P"},{"author_name":"GaTechGrad","author_uid":"19778","time":"Dec 10, 2013 @ 11:29pm","epoch":1386717840,"text":"Each flag is the basic Unity plane, which is a 10x10 grid of squares, so that would be 200 total triangles.  Turning on the wind makes it run slowly on my desktop PC as well, which has a nVidia PNY GeForce GTX 550 Ti Video Card (1024MB, GDDR5) and 12 GB of RAM.  However, it runs smoothly on my MacBook Pro laptop, which I thought was a technically inferior system.  Maybe there are some optimizations with the Unity engine on the Macs."}],"images":["ld28w\/19778-ef30fb60d999d0f442243295f0ca4aa0.jpg","ld28w\/19778-0004854d9400950839bf81aebface265.jpg","ld28w\/19778-1c9b4071db4c2cb182e9b92e3d1cff17.jpg","ld28w\/19778-ba29117147b07e2039fa4165da340a11.jpg","ld28w\/19778-2805515627c6957643af1449e805ba0e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld28warmup","text":"Web Unity"},{"url":"http:\/\/levidsmith.com\/ld\/ld28warmup\/flags.zip","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"34481","g_author":"19778","g_event":"LD28W","g_eventkey":"21","g_subevent":"-","g_urlkey":"34511","g_title":"50 Flags of the United States","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/301247\/19778-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/301247\/19778-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/301247\/19778-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/301247\/19778-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/301247\/19778-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"All 50 state flags of the United States displayed on a map.
