Ingame Surface Loading

[summer_goth]

Hi everyone, I'm new and had a look through the forums but I have a couple of questions.

Does game editor load all the surfaces and sounds when starting up and keep them in memory?

Hence for a big game is it possible to say when surfaces should be created? I am busy developing an adventure game (similar to Day of the Tentacle and those old point and click Sierra games). The game is for a PocketPC and it has quite a lot of graphics.

Can Game Editor be used to make such a game? ie not load all the graphics when the game start up.

I also see that there is no getPixel function. Is there a way to create vectors and then check to see if a point is in a vector?

Thank you very much for your time.

The collision detection and activation regions will handle what you need to do. Yes, an adventure game like that is possible.

Ah activation regions. I wondered what that did. Thank you very much for your help Fuzzy.
