Game file size

Tbone

Hi,

Still got my training wheels on here... Im wondering how I determine the actual file size of my game?

In the Project editor my project size is 502Kb and when I run the game in the viewer the stats under memory usage say game engine is 6.3Mb with the total being 38.5Mb.

the actual file size you will see when downloading it from itunes is roughly the project size give or take 100 or 200kb. is that what you mean?

Tbone

Yeah.

I've read that game file sizes need to be kept around 10Mb for iphone/touch. Just want
to be sure I don't create something to big.

Cheers.

The project size is roughly accurate - the other figures you quote are how much device memory the app is using to run.

So you're quite safe at just over 500k

that 10MB limit is only for uploading to the gamesalad website to play there.

There is no limit on the size of the game to submit to the app store, but there is a benefit to keeping it under 10MB, anyone with an iphone can download it over cellular, and that's huge. Many people forget to get a game when they get home.
