Help me in performance

Hello everbody...

I study construct2 a few weeks, but I?m loving this

And now I have a great problem :/

I build a simple game in construct2 and now I export using phone gap and the .apk installing, but play very slow :/ .. above 4~6 FPS...

I post my capx and .apk here, plz somebody give me a help.. lol =)

acifee.com.br/construct/detone_bacterias.capx

acifee.com.br/construct/bacterias_debug.apk

if not work, take this in acifee.com.br/construct -> using right click and save as.

Thanks

PS: Sorry about my poor english.

I'm afraid I don't have the time to test your .capx right now, but I can link you to two great tutorials for performance.

If it's too long and you didn't read: Lots of performance tips, Scirra recommends using CocoonJS and Directcanvas for publishing.

Scirra has officially said that PhoneGap is unsuitable for making games.

Should probably remove it from C2 entirely in that case.

We won't remove PhoneGap because some people still use it to publish games, and in future when phone browsers are actually decent it will become a viable option for publishing again. It's just in the short-medium term it's unsuitable for publishing games and at the moment we strongly recommend publishing via CocoonJS or directCanvas.

I�m reading something about cocoonJS and directCanvas, thanks by hints.

It's not true that PhoneGap cannot be used for games, not only that but it's currently the only way to have Game Center support on iOS as well as iAds and IAP.

The problem is the online building service. To reach decent (and I stress decent) you have to compile everything by yourself and edit some of the PhoneGap code for optimization, with the online build service this is not possible and result in unsitable packages.

I'm about to publish the game I made with c2 with PhoneGap only because both CoocoonJS and AppMobi are incomplete products, it is possible but it requires extensive knowledge of xCode if publishing for iOS or Eclipse for Android.

My dream would be that Ashley could edit PhoneGap (leaving all the good things such as plugins intact) to work with DirectCanvas that could really be the beginning of something great.

If I'll ever be able to finish this game I'll publish a tutorial for optimizing PhoneGap.

To potential developers, do not dismiss PhoneGap.

It?s a great idea, share with us <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Waiting for 0plus1's tutorial :)

Absolutely. Having more options available is always great.

I'm sure there is more to 0plus1's tutorial, but i'm going to try the following to see the results.

phonegap IOS

To all.

I might be moving away from pg for the simple reason that it overheats the idevices, if I find a way to limit the usage of CPU it could become a viable solution.
