Also keep in mind that, in case you are reusing instance variables, that

Code: [Select]

world=new World();

is not the same as

Code: [Select]

world=null;
world=new World();

The former one will use twice the memory while creating the new instance of World (or Object3D or whatever...) while latter won't.

really? Is this only in the case of making a World or for all objects? I have actually been setting objects to null to try to reduce memory usage but I wasn't sure if it was actually affecting anything or not.  Why does not setting the world to null first use twice the memory? wouldnt the old World have nothing pointing to it so it should be cleaned up?

*edit oh do you mean it uses twice the memory until after the new world is created than the memory usage goes back down?

What if I want to dispose all of the textures and world though to load a new level or something like that?

This game looks really good. I feel like if you add combat and a story that it could probably do well on the android market.

Hello, I am trying to make an object move toward the camera. I was having some problems so i commented out the normalize call and tried to see if i could just make the object translate to the camera, but I couldn't do it.  This is the code I am using.

                                Object3D obj = data.getObject();
Camera cam = visualWorld.getCamera();
SimpleVector desti = new SimpleVector(cam.getPosition());
SimpleVector objCenter = obj.getTransformedCenter();
SimpleVector dest = desti.calcSub(objCenter);

System.out.println(objCenter.x + " " + desti.x + " " + objCenter.y + " " + desti.y);
//dest=dest.normalize();
// dest.scalarMul(0.05f);
obj.translate(dest);
objCenter = obj.getTransformedCenter();
System.out.println(objCenter.x + " " + desti.x + " " + objCenter.y + " " + desti.y);


Output:
973.6122 921.0 -13.489336 -21.0
2551.978 921.0 -483.8615 -21.0

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

*edit it looks like it has something to do with me setting a parent object.  When I remove the parent object it translates as it should. Do you know why this is? Could it be related to scaling on the parent?

I think I figured it out, I was sharing compiled data, so after disabling that its fixed.

Hello, do you have any ideas as to why this flashing happens on my objects texture, like it flashes from bright to dark depending on camera angle.

Thanks.

is shadow map not intended to be used for big areas or games, because even at like 2048 it looks a bit pixellated?
