  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

This is how it works in many game engines.

You set up the monsters and just hide them/disable them. They're already allocated to memory.

And it's a performance cost to create/delete versus just moving a dead enemy out of view, then respawning that enemy later in the level.

If it's a type of enemy you see just one of at a time but see it often, sure. If there's many, cost of copy/delete is definitely not that high relatively speaking.

(random sidenote: in the first Mirror's Edge game, you can sometimes hear enemies you passed scream as they fall when you pass from one part of a map to another, as the ground in the map is unloaded before the enemies unload)
