Random freezes on Windows Phone 8 Device

thehen,

I'm always interested to learn something new, and I just had a look at the c2runtime.js file. I could only find one reference that matched the example you gave above. So is this the reference to all of the projects images?

If so, does this mean you just need to run your images through the encoder as a batch, then use the base64 code or string that's created to reference them, or is there more to it than that?

Thanks.

thehen,

Never mind, I was originally looking at a very simple c2runtime.js. I've now checked a larger project and there are LOADS of references. Now I understand why it's such a pain in the <img src="smileys/smiley35.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> !!!

But essentially, I'd just need to encode each image using the tool you mentioned, then update my code with the base64 string that was produced? Is that about right?

Blacksmith before doing this make sure you get performance gains from uploading to a remote location as I described before. It seems related to the number of images in a project. It would be a waste of time if there was no discernible difference between the remote and local versions.

beufreecasse that would be great if you could!

Could you please test it for me, I just finished the tool but I will not be able to test it until monday.

Let me know if you encounter issues.

Base64 Encoding Tool

Thank you

thehen, thanks for the very useful tip! It has improved the games performance. Now just have to tackle the tedious task of base64 encoding every image GROAN!!!

beufreecasse, fantastic work on the encoding tool! Hopefully this will save a great deal of time.

Thank you!

Blacksmith no problem :)

beufreecasse this tool is looking fantastic - thanks for taking the time to make that, it's going to save me a ton of hassle.

It doesn't currently work though as it adds line breaks. If you can make the base64 encoded string on a single line it should work fine.

Thanks!

thehen

This is what I wanted to know, thanks.

I'll do it as soon as possible.

See ya!

New version without line break available :

Base64 Encoding Tool

beufreecasse this works perfectly and performance is great! Thanks so much for this :D

Unfortunately this is not working for me, I only have a black screen.

I am missing something?

beufreecasse I've got hold of an 8S and it seems related to having 512mb RAM. I have no idea why, but I can repro in the emulator. I'm investigating now.

beufreecasse I've noticed the base64 encoding tool removes the first two characters of the second value in the array.

So this:

["images/dragtutorialtext-sheet0.png", 9474, 0, 0, 200, 77, 1, 0.5, 0.506494,

[],[],0]

Becomes this:

["images/dragtutorialtext-sheet0.png", 74, 0, 0, 200, 77, 1, 0.5, 0.506494,

[],[],0]

Not sure if this is the cause of the issue yet, as it's strange it would work on my Nokia.

thehen

Ok, I've found the bug, new version is available.

I'll test it tomorrow morning.

thanks.

Black screen me too, on Lumia 520.

BTW, I found an empirical and extremely unelegant way to implement accelerometer input on Windows Phone 8. I'll try to refine the code a bit and get the workaround posted here.

Which version of the tool do you have?
