How big can we make a stage that's 100% Art before having perfomrance issues?

    And is it better to save images as Jpg or Png?

    the best way is

    I use png for all my graphic
    you can try to use .raw if you are insane lol

    I just meant since for most part the images won't consist of any transparency so thought Jpg might save space and time?

    Yeah I know I can test on device but thought maybe asking on forums would save time man : )

    Bless ya, tnx

    have you try to put .raw files in your game?

    It's a scrolling ranomized scene right? I'm not sure how GameSalad works, but you simply have to delete actors once they are out of your screen to save memory and I guess it should be fine.

    gamesalad will convert all graphics to png anyways.
    don't use physics unless absolutely necessary, use interpolate as much as you can
    don't spawn/destroy anything

    JPG seem like they are smaller, but (and GS converts to PNG, so not to worry) if you use a JPG in your app, the app converts al the images to PNG on runtime not at the build, so every time you run your app, it has to convert images and takes a lot longer.

    On your PGN, uncheck the transparency option so it is more optimised if you don't need transparency.
