  Yeah, I should probably do a tutorial.

  Always find those annoying to do.

  Linux is... spotty.

  Apple will eventually. Some do now, but probably not via Chrome, which is what nodewebkit is.

  On the other hand everything can run canvas2d.

  Anything considered modern that is.

  If you are using webgl everything gets loaded layout by layout.

  If not everything gets loaded at once, with the caveat that you can load textures via a url.

  A texture should not be unloaded while a layout is active, unless you overload memory.

  That's not to say some browser may do some weird stuff with garbage collection.

  Speaking of the hick-ups might also be attributed to the gigo.

  Works fine here.

  Id say the Macbook Pro i7 thing is a big hint, but it may just be the graphics card.

  I am redoing an old game jam game of mine with the Kenny space shooter graphics.

  I've added a few things, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

  Game play is click/ touch anywhere to aim. Shooting is automatic, with a little turn based combo thingy.

  Nobody ever gives all the pertinent information.

  Leave the objects in the layout, and destroy them at the start of layout.

  The fact that loading the images into memory will slow it down can not be bypassed.

  C2 loads everything into memory at the start of layout, so the objects already exist in memory.

  There is no reason for the creation to cause a slow down.

  Perhaps something else is happening when you run the creation events.

  Yes, it should be a lot like that, and if you can describe, or show an example of what you want to do, I'm pretty sure someone can come up with a reasonable solution.

  Not sure if the newstore is public quite yet, but when finished users will be able to sell templates of on screen controls.

  If that's what you are looking for.
