Just a helpful note

Hey guys,

Just noticed something on TSB's Star Daze HD that I've seen on my apps before that I thought I should bring to peoples attention.

If you have actors (spawners, etc) that are outside your screen scene, then make sure they have an aplha of 0, otherwise when you rotate your device (if you support rotation) you can see these actors.

    If they are never on screen, you should set their visibility to false. Just setting alpha to 0 will still make the engine render them. (you won't see them, but the engine still has to draw them).

    Should free up some CPU cycles as well.

    I always set them to invisible. Makes them hard to see though... :P
