Best idea and performance for a big background

#1

Hello everyone,

Before to start to write code I’d like to know your opinions about which is the best solution for a big background like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRvy-Rkx4Pg perhaps smaller, not so ambitious :slight_smile:

  1. My first idea was create a few big PNGs and then join them (I don’t like too much this idea)
  2. The second idea was create a tiled map. I liked this idea about tiles, but, what happen if I’d like rotate the background?

Thinking now in a possible solution, if I have a array of tiles like this
010
101

And I’d like rotate it, the solution maybe are move the numbers, no?
101
010

Ok, this is easy in a smaller array, but what happen in a big map? will affect the performance of device?
Do you think is a good solution? Do you known alternatives?

All ideas are welcome? Thanks a lot!

Have you looked at level engines like Tiled and Lime?

I would definitely say that the small tile option is the best to go with - look on Corona’s youtube channel and you’ll see a performance demonstration showing Corona running with a hell of a lot of tiles, very fast. [import]uid: 8271 topic_id: 36053 reply_id: 143230[/import]

Thanks a lot for the info. I started to look mapeditor.org but I didn’t know Lime. I will check it now.
