Sneaking in here, as you've given an opening with if implemented wisely, there
is very
I know Table uses a rubber stamp approach, where it re-uses cell views
where possible
One small correction -- this isn't what we call the rubber stamp (which is what
Swing did). The rubber stamp approach is to use a *single* cell and change its
state and reuse it for rendering everything
I don't think there is any particular secret sauce going on in what I do
compared with the general guidelines that have been spelled out numerous
times. It's the same old, same old: don't create more nodes than you
need, don't modify the scenegraph needlessly, don't update the
scenegraph
Thanks Jonathan, it's good to get your insight.
You did finish by muddying the waters again though - to do something
complex with zooming and scrolling you'd be tempted to fall back into
Java2D paint-style programming, and use Canvas for this, not the Scene
graph? It's more a couldbe/maybe
I only said that I'd consider using Canvas given my past experiences in
doing the same kind of thing in Java 2D, so I'm familiar with it in that
sense (but not in the real sense of having ever used Canvas in
production). If I were to ever implement something like this I would of
course be
To add
to the confusion, Canvas currently has some drastic z-order bugs, and some
clipping issues, so using it combined with Nodes is currently a no-go.
I believe those have all been fixed in the last couple of weeks.

It really wasn't ever supposed to be my TD game, I keep trying to get you (and
others interested in the community) to develop it. I'm up to my eyeballs in
work already, as I'm sure you can relate :-)

I'm out for that one for the foreseeable future. I've burnt up any and all
free time on getting the desktop and iOS workflows working with Maven.
I'm big time behind on client work.
Tell you what though, if you can get someone at Oracle to take over the
deployment tools and iOS stuff, I'd very
