Graphics question

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some advice. Say I have a top down racing game, so a full screen image (doesn't matter what size) which has a race track with a natural background, grass, trees whatever. From a file size perspective would it be better to have a different complete image for each new level (track + grass, trees), or should I create one background (grass and trees) and then just have different track images I can overlay onto the background (track only with the rest of the image as transparent)? Hope that makes sense. Just not sure what approach to take.

Thanks,

HK

    I guess that's up to you. I would export each image so that I could customize or even randomize each layout to give different looks.

    I'd say your second option. Don't repeat the things that will never change (the grass and trees, etc.)
