  I've prepared a demo app that has 4 layouts. Each layout is using about 30mb of memory according to the C2 debugger. Touching the layout moves to the next layout. This will give a total of about 120 mb usage total.

  As soon as I get home I will take some memory usage recordings with my ipad and mac and package it all up and sent to ludei.

  Hello,

  > What about memory management?

  >

  Some days ago, we published in the "How do I..." forum regarding the flickering screen and we said we were doing some research about the memory management. Well, we are right now working on it. Could anyone please provide us with a really heavy .capx for our testing?

  Vuuv, we are also taking into account your hint. If you can send us your project, we will be glad to do some testing with it too.

  Regards.

  ludei I can make up a demo app. Where should I send it to make sure it gets to the right people?

  Kyatric, you are on our list for sure .

  Yeah, we got a bit off topic when talking about mobile. I didn't mean to imply that the iOS issues were related to C2. My point was starting with mobile and C2 isn't really the best way to learn as there are lots of obstacles to creating mobile apps, apple submission being one.

  I really appreciate your feedback and we will discuss all your points. Thank you.

  EDIT - This podcast is now a thing of the past.

  You can find all 8 recorded episodes at this url : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By79FfszQd8wN0tvWnNBdnhuQlU, but do not expect new episodes from this pair of podcasters.

  Thanks to Ed and Alvaro for their 8 existing episodes though and thanks to Alvaro for the google drive link.

No technical difficulties so that was a huge plus. Take a listen and let know what you think. We would love to hear feedback and your ideas for content and future shows.

  It's based on the object. Each object gets it's own spritesheet, or more than one if needed.

  So if you have a sprite with 4 frames of animation, it will get put on a sprite sheet. If you have a sprite with 1 frame, it will get it's own sprite sheet.

  Pretty sure that's how it works in a nutshell.

  I got game center working today. My problem was my iPad wasn't set to developer-sandbox mode for game center. I am now able to test it in xcode on my device.

  I'm having issue exporting to phonegap still. All the build process is working fine, I am getting the .ipa. Just testing the game always crashes back to ipad desktop.

  Are their known plugins that are not compatible with Phonegap?

  I tried phonegap build, it still crashes upon loading. I'll stick with CJS for now.

  Will all my changes, I got it to about 140mb on the ipad. I'm pretty happy with that. I'm going to try phonegap now and see what's up.

  I'll give it a shot, I tried it before and the game just crashed out. I don't mind it being ios8.

  Thanks

  Ed

  No tiled backgrounds, this is just by exporting the game and looking at the sprite sheets that are created and seeing how I could reduce the size of them, or eliminate some all together. Like my FRENZY example earlier, all 4 images were 256x64, which I figured would fit on a 256x256 spritesheet, but they don't. By reducing each sprites size to 254x62, they were all able to fit on a 256x256 sheet, saving precious memory. Hope that makes sense.
