How to create 5000 sprites without lags?

Hi. I'm making a game where I need to create about 2000-5000 sprites. I create them when I start the layout. This causes the game to freeze for 5-15 seconds, is there any way to avoid this?

1. Pre populate the layout.
2. Make a loading screen.
3. Get a better pc.
4. Don't do that.

Your best option probably is to hide this with a loading screen. You can also create them in batches, e.g. create 100 sprites every tick, which will create overall 6000 sprites in a second at 60 fps. You might still wanna hide that behind some transition/loading screen but it should at least mitigate some of the lag.

Are you by any chance trying to do this on mobile btw? Because I can spawn 5000 sprites practically instant on my PC. It's a beefy one but still, 5-15 seconds freeze I can see happening on a phone.

Hi. What is the size of the sprite being created? 5-10 seconds is a very long period of time.

Can you post an example c3p file with this result so we can help you better.
