I am having a little bit of trouble getting shield graphics to work. I’d just done some playing with weapon system power, repacked the ship into an .ftl, and then ran it through GMM. In game, though, the shield graphic was gone. I tried just repacking the original ship (no changes), and it did the same thing. Any idea what I should do to fix it?

I recently updated my game.
Now, it use dynamic image scaling based on device’s screen resolution.
The result : it completely fix slowly/laggy gameplay/sounds on low-end devices!!

I also added some more shield :

  • The green one which shot random Oneshot lasers when player get damage.
  • The red shield add two “friends” on each sides of player-ship which shoot on ennemies.

garymoody2014, I did not understand what you did, sorry.

Hi mouren, did you create multiple sprite sheets to speed it up?  Also, did you use particle candy explosions?  (do they slow down your game?

Thanks, Greg

Exactly, i created multiple sprite sheets of all my images/textures/backgrounds in different resolution (3 differents resolutions) with the help of Texture Packer. So if the phone’s screen is small, Corona loads “small version” of all images files and it speed up the game!

I don’t use particle candy, I just use sprite sheet animatons.
