first rule of fighting, don't talk about fighting...

second rule of fighting....DON'T Talk about fighting...

......

any how if I ignore rule one and two then....

- To get better performance there are lots of things you can do....

- Keep spawning to a minimum
- Keep constraining to a minimum.
- Keep images to certain sizes (8's I think) e.g. 80 x 80, 32x32 ....
- Use 8 bit png images if transparency is not needed (save for web from Photoshop works well).
- There has been discussion on what sound file works best, aiff, ogg or something like that.

more info on forum, use the magnifying glass in the top right of the screen and search the forum for 'better performance' or similar.

(I do hope you got the film reference at the top otherwise I sound mad).

good tips. But the image rule is a power of two rule. So each side should be:

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024. 1024 is the biggest image an iphone can handle. It doesn't have to be one of these but as far as memory goes the iphone always "rounds up" so to speak. So if you have an image that is 65 pixels in length that uses the same memory as an image that is 128 in length so you may as well change your image to 64. But if you need an image that is 48 because it just looks right, then just use it as is.
