= How a portal works =
Now that we have defined a portal, why don't we talk about how it works. A portal is simply a division between two parts of the map, or how many '''portal cells''' you have. A portal cell is a cell or area created when a portal, or many portals, make an enclosed area. So let's say you have two rooms with one door and in the door there is a portal. There are two portal cells created. Room 1 and Room2. Portal cells split the map into different pieces. If those pieces can't be viewed by the player, then the cell doesn't get rendered, or the objects in the cell don't show up, which saves resources and makes the game run faster. What use is it showing something the player can't see? This is the purpose of portals.

When a player steps into a cell, everything in that cell is rendered, or displayed, including everything behind the player. This is why portal cells need to be placed at correct locations. Place them in wrong locations can put portals to minimum or no use at all. If you put them at key points and used correctly, then you can increase the speed of your map! This is why portals are important.
