text as image or behavior?

MacTeach

I am creating a game with cards that will have a simple word on them. The problem is, I don't know if I should create each of these cards with the words as an image (like in illustrator) or should simply create one blank one and have each actor have a "display text" rule that has the text on it?

In total, I'll likely have at least 200 words, maybe more depending on how deep I take it.

Personally, I would create everything as an image. This way you can add different visual effects - drop shadows, bevels, etc.

The current Display Text behavior looks very unprofessional in my opinion.

But 200 card maybe will have memory problem!

i would make one card graphic and then create your 200 images of just the words using a nice font in photoshop. So they are all pngs, but you can reuse the card bakground each time.

Do you guys agree with Victorkin that there might be memory problems?
I can't think of another way to do this really.
