Re: JDK Problem

The JDK contains a JRE. JAVA_HOME should point to the root folder of the JDK, not the embedded JRE.

Re: Bink Format Support and Parental Control

250MB/30s corresponds to a bitrate of 66.67Mbit/s which is absurdly high for a modern video codec. You seem to be grossly underestimating the efficiency of h.264 and WebM -- both are capable of encoding good looking 1080p video in a tenth of that.

What is 'extremely heavy' supposed to mean in the context of video codecs?

Re: Error with Android Package Building

"com.try" isn't a valid package name (try is a keyword in Java).

Re: Showing images and memory

On my machine, your demo starts at ~720MB internal memory and eventually stabilizes at ~900MB. There are no noticeable garbage collection pauses. In fact, it doesn't seem like any images ever get unloaded.

Re: How to turn off vsync?

vsync doesn't cause lag spikes. The most lag it can cause is 1 frame.

Re: is faster Sprites or CustomDisplayable? (very technical!

Code: Select all

img=im.MatrixColor(ImageReference(img),im.matrix.tint(Ir,Ig,Ib)*im.matrix.saturation(Is)*im.matrix.brightness(Il))
im.MatrixColor creates a copy of its input image and multiplies every pixel with a 4x4 matrix. That's not something you want to be doing every frame.

Re: is faster Sprites or CustomDisplayable? (very technical!

It's hard to say what's the bottleneck in your rendering without more information.

Can you post the actual code that draws the tile map?
How large are the tile images?

Re: What are some OpenGL benefits and how to utilize them?

Ren'Py is already using OpenGL under the hood.

Re: Cross platform C++ engine (with Cocos2DX as graphics eng

AxemRed, pages describe all the animation/changes that are supposed to happen, not just the text. What you're proposing is trying to force it to behave more like Ren'py, which isn't bad in and of itself, problem is it ASSUMES that's the kind of behavior the developer wants, which isn't always true....

Re: Cross platform C++ engine (with Cocos2DX as graphics eng

Keeping definitions local and understandable tag names aren't what's making your XML verbose. Currently, you have syntax like this: <page text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit." /> <page text="Praesent convallis nisl sit amet velit ultricies, at placerat lorem ...

Re: Cross platform C++ engine (with Cocos2DX as graphics eng

XML is indeed easy to parse, but it's a nightmare to write by hand. If you insist on XML scripts, they can be made far, far less verbose than what you have here.
