CPU : CloneObject VS CopyPaste

Hello

I would like to create many buttons using "sprite font" with a unique font. It would be more handy if i can create new object each time so i can name every object.

But I wonder if this would be more CPU intensive than just copy / paste. Somebody got information about that ?

Thanks

It would not be more cpu intensive.

It would use more memory than just using instances.

Keep in mind all instances share the same texture.

And the needed code will multiply out of control.

Just give them a instance variable ... text .. 'name' .. and name them in the layout editor. (without " "'s)

Then just use

Sprite font > Compare Instance Variable > 'name' = whatever you named it between " ".

Now that sprite font is picked, and actions run on that sprite font.

depends on how many buttons is "many" if its a large amount of anything(>500) it can get pretty cpu intensive or hard(RAM/HDD - reading and writting) usage going upper! however it wont make a difference for today's PC's. I cant say about mobile apps, depends what is your target as a device there, but if you plan a universal app for as many mobile platforms as possible... you wold need to keep things S&S and just create the illusion of many buttons! i always use sprites object as buttons, i know needs more download memory and ram ... but once its loaded any device can use it without much effort!

Ok so I finally used instances

Thank you
