While at the conference I found time to figure out a couple of
things. I used arrays for the first time (in LiveCode that is), and I
found hardware acceleration settings that worked well.
The test I did was to have a scene doing parallax scrolling. The
initial scene is made up of five slices, each 1024 wide, and
significantly tall too. Those need to be on the card twice each, so
that you can scroll the second copy into view as you move. That went
well enough, so I added 101 LC logos to the scene, and it still moved
well.
This is pretty amazing. We took an extra week in Scotland after the
conference, and very little internet access, so I just now had a chance
to look at the stack. I'm really impressed.
The only thing I'd add is a closestack handler that stops the pending
messages when the stack is closed. I noticed the fans in my iMac went
wild and LiveCode was using 100% of the CPU, which I tracked down to
pending messages. I suppose that isn't an issue on mobile but on desktop
things get quite lively. (For some reason it kicked Finder into 100% CPU
too, so I had 2 processes going full speed for a while. I had to
relaunch Finder to get it to stop.)
Still, the effect was worth it. :)
