Polygons with max 8 vertices

[Bannana97]

If I am to make an efficient game, I must have shapes with large amounts of vertices.
What can I do to make a polygon with an unlimited number of vertices? I need the ability for terrain.

Okay, thanks.

I found this link at that URL: http://vrld.github.com/HardonCollider/r ... plitConvex

The way my game works is going to be hard for me to make more than 1 polygon...
So does that splitConvex method allow me to make a polygon with more than 8 vertices, then use that method on it to split it up or what?
I am somewhat confused!!

Why?

I think originally it's for splitting up concave polygons into convex triangles, but try it, it probably works for splitting up any polygon into smaller triangles.

Why?
I am trying to make terrain in which you can dig.
When you dig, it will create 3 new points in the polygon to make an up-side-down triangle shape in the ground, so that the physics engine can walk down into it, and back up, like a real hole.

If your polygons will have notches cut out of them, they will be concave, so you will have to split them into convex polygons anyway.
