So is there any consensus on which is performing better, chrome 39 or canary 41? I have only been using canary but i will try chrome again today.

In my game, there's a particular object that spawns text when picked up. The text is then set to a number stored in a variable. Every time this happens the game pauses for several seconds. Is spawning and setting text really that demanding of system resources? Is this a common problem?

Specs:

Intel Atom CPU (quad core)

2 gigs ram

Intel HD graphics

lucid - I am sad to report that change opacity/visibility actions still aren't working for individual sprites. Thank you.

— - agreed. I never had this problem either until installing the latest chrome. I have noticed some improvement since installing the latest chrome beta. My old notebook had chrome 37 but before I got a chance to check it out, google auto update replaced it with 38 (even though I had auto update disabled).

Aphrodite - thanks for all of the info! An interesting thing that I've noticed - the two things that currently greatly boost my game's performance, #1 - turning off WebGL, #2 - cleaning the cached files from Chrome. The next time I play after I clean the cache, it won't have nearly as much lag. Do you know what this means? I sure don't...

lucid - I hate to report but the "set opacity" and "set visibility" actions still aren't working for individual sprites from a spriter entity. Thanks, Morgan.

Aphrodite - thanks. I look forward to WebGL being fixed in chrome! Do you know if there are any major browsers (Safari, etc?) that don't use WebGL? I guess that chrome is just running canvas2d better at the moment.

Aphrodite shared this on another thread but you can make it so the user can change resolutions by using the "set canvas size" combined with the "set layout scale" action. I think I'll do a short tutorial on how I did it.
