First goal was to do an NME port of esDotDev's RunnerMark for fair comparison of a realistic game scene.
Minor twists:
- shows 3 enemies even if it can't reach 58fps,
- runner is rotating, enemies are randomly scaled & flipped,
- for older Android devices you should not target 60fps; my HTC Desire (Nexus One) does a good job with lower targets.
Here are the scores (FPSx10 + ennemies count, in bold after engine update):
- iPhone 3GS: 668
- iPod Touch 4: 978
- iPhone 4: 888
- iPad 1: 916
- iPad 2: 3121
- iPad 3: 1944
- Nexus One (2.2): 460 (target 58fps), 487 (30fps)
- Nexus One (2.3.7): 470 (target 58fps), 577 (30fps)
- Motorola Defy: 595 (target 30fps)
- Samsung Galaxy Ace: 850 (target 30fps)
- Samsung Galaxy S: 584 (target 58fps), 1073 (30fps)
- HTC Desire Z (2.3): 869
- Galaxy Nexus: 1081
- Samsung Galaxy S2 (ICS): 1972
- Samsung Galaxy S3: 2119
- Nexus 4: 2702
- Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.1, 1.4GHz): 689
- Xoom (3.1): 923
- TouchPad (ICS): 916
- Compare with AIR RunnerMark results
- Download the APKs
Other point of comparison:
- APK is 2.4Mb
- IPA is 1.1Mb
Second goal was to create a simple wrapper on NME's Tilesheet which is rather low-level and native-targets orientated.
- provides a basic display-list, spritesheet animations, mirroring,
- includes a Sparrow spritesheet parser, supporting trimming,
- uses Bitmaps for Flash & HTML5 target rendering (almost complete) instead of the limited, and a bit slow, drawTriangles fallback.
TileLayer is now in haxelib:
- source (and some doc) on github
- install the library:
haxelib install tilelayerin your terminal - add
<haxelib name="tilelayer" />in your nmml
