About memory

[Leif]

Guys, does anybody know:

1.What takes less memory -
a) I make one actor with ten animations and create this actor. Later I only change animations
b) I make ten actors with one animation each. Later I create actor with proper animation and destroy others.

2.What takes less memory -
a) I use PNG image 700 x 900 (1,19Mb)
b) I use CANVAS actor 700 x 900 , draw on it and save canvas state.

3. Actor A is within current activation region, but not created. Does he use memory? How much?
4. Can we change canvas height or width during the game?

Game Editor manages the animation load for you.
If you have one actor with a 1000 frame animation for example, only few frames will be loaded at time.

2.What takes less memory -
a) I use PNG image 700 x 900 (1,19Mb)
b) I use CANVAS actor 700 x 900 , draw on it and save canvas state.

The image will use less memory (all images, regardless the image format, are converted to a internal format)

3. Actor A is within current activation region, but not created. Does he use memory? How much?

It will use memory.

4. Can we change canvas height or width during the game?

No
