How many tris per flag? I turned wind on and it almost crashed my alienware. Judging by the smoothness of the flags, I think they have A LOT of tris each. But nice warmup entry anyway, I always get confused on where each state is located in the USA :P

Each flag is the basic Unity plane, which is a 10x10 grid of squares, so that would be 200 total triangles. Turning on the wind makes it run slowly on my desktop PC as well, which has a nVidia PNY GeForce GTX 550 Ti Video Card (1024MB, GDDR5) and 12 GB of RAM. However, it runs smoothly on my MacBook Pro laptop, which I thought was a technically inferior system. Maybe there are some optimizations with the Unity engine on the Macs.
