Is this an okay culling method?

Hi,
I’m wanting to cull offscreen objects so I can have a long platformy level.
My idea is to make all objects that are offscreen (Given some leeway) invisible.

I’d do this by simply setting all objects to ‘IsVisible = false’ to begin with and then checking they’re co-ordinates and when in range setting their ‘IsVisible = true’

It’s pretty basic I think.

My question would be, Is this a feasible way to implement offscreen culling to increase performance?
Will setting them to IsVisible free up resources.

Corona is pretty good with off screen resources, they changed some sprite sheets animations and image sheets stuff earlier this year to speed things up. I think this would be ok…

That’s my two cents anywhere.

If your using the latest stable build ( 840 ) or daily builds ( even better culling ) and also using the new sprite api’s you get culling handled automatically for you. [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 29169 reply_id: 117348[/import]
