My 1.0 alpha is ready and it is all built in one file, one scene file, and multiple Media assets.

so my question is, it is all built in one main.agc and i want to reorganize it to multiple agc files.
what should i do? meaning:

What are the advantages of multiple agc files without sorting your functions.
Does it help the game run-time?
Should there be a maximum file size i should think of?

I have some BuildStuff functions
and some UpdateStuff functions.

should i divide it to BuildStuff AGC and UpadteStuff AGC or should i , BuildAnimal UpdateAnimal, and put only these two in Animal.agc (Animal is just an example, no real or imaginary animals are hurt on compiling or during run-time.)

i have many ideas on how to divide my functions , but like what is the best option? what do you guys think?

Yes. I would definitely split them up. Much easier to find things then

1>It doesn't effect the code speed at all
2>organising code into different files makes code more reusable
for example you could have one agc file with all the scancodes you could then use this file
with everyone of your programs cutting down development time
3>It can make it much more easy to modify code in the future when you may have forgotten
what you have done. example might be one file for player movement makes it allot easier to
maintain

OK.
I do however remembers something about "heap time" from the old AGK... don't really know what that is.
Any suggestions on how to divide them in the best fashion? like from experience?
