Performance Question

Hey Guys,

im new here! My name is Sven and i like walking in the Park while its raining...

Seriously, im new to construct and i must say its just great and u guys rock!

I used MMF2 before and was so p**** that i cant create a platformer with descent scrolling without having to count the FPS with my Fingers So i moved, and i dont regret it!

Thats what i wanted to say.

Im working on an 2d-Platformer and my 1. Level gets bigger and bigger (15.000x3.500). And down goes the FPS. So what i want to know is:

1. Is better for performance to use a TiledBackground instead of filling the field with Sprites?!?

2. Does it save performance to not serialize the Objects in my Layout?!?

I dont want to save ingame, just level-wise.

3. Is it usual to make Levels 15.000 x 3.500 in size?

Thanks for your help.

1. Is better for performance to use a TiledBackground instead of filling the field with Sprites?!?

Never have a grid of sprites! It's very slow. You should use a Tiled Background with a texture that is a power-of-two size (e.g. 32x32, 64x64, 128x128...). Tiled backgrounds at that size can draw as efficiently as a single sprite, no matter how big they are!

Ok, i've done that. The size of the Textures are 100x100.Still no improvement, though.

Ill try to search what the problem is... Maybe i used to much Events or wrote a code of doom
