I'm developing a side-scroller type game with a destructible, editable environment. My plan is to use the image to vertices function to do this.

But is there performant way to keep changing the body by sending a new image when the landscape changes? Or what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!

The best way is to use the marching squares algorithm in the engine. Take a look at the Testbed project (find it under the download tab at the top of the page) and load the DestructibleTerrainMSTest - it is the one with the green monkey in it. (use O and P keys to circle the tests)

Thanks!

As always, soon after posting I actually found this. I have been through all the tests, but that one was skipped because the project was missing the XNA define. I've got a new question about MS so will create a new thread.
