Hi everyone,

Small question about the way the software operates. Do layouts always stay loaded in memory? What I am getting at is, would it be ok performance wise to have say 1000 small layouts? I know that number is excessive I was just using it for an example. I can't seem to find a reference in the manual to how layouts and layers are loaded and when they stay loaded. Do layouts and inactive layers always stay loaded?

Right now the entire game is loaded into memory, but only the current layout will be running. What is currently running is what affects performance.

However, if you have a lot of images, this can very easily be a problem.

Ashley, how far are we away from loading/unloading resources from the RAM per layout? I think that one of the main benefits of EXE export is that file size doesn't matter as much, however it will still be a big problem until we have layout-based loading.
