Animation

[J. Downs]

Hey, all.

I'd like to experiment with LC for some video game development.  Sprite animation with collision detection, vertical and horizontal landscape scrolling, etc.  Can LC keep up the pace when the number of on-screen objects gets to a dozen or more?  Need special add-ons like the Animation Engine, or can it all be done natively?  Any exceptional online tutorials, etc. you would recommend?

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
J.
