Hey great job getting your game on Ouya, the company I work for has a dev Ouya and I was looking through the games and I saw Sky Maze 3D and I knew I remembered it from somewhere haha.

The GLFont blitting thing Raft made is pretty cool:

That sounds like it would explain part of the grass showing up inside itself, but the grass, the bush, and the fog are 3 different objects though (they are all clones of other grass, fog, and bushes though, not sure if thats related)

You can just read through the map file and for each entry create a tile in the appropriate location.  For example you can decide to have the first tile at 0,0(with arbitrary z value) then when you read the next tile you can place it at like 50,0 then 100,0 and make them have a width of 50. At some point then you also want to make the rows start going down so then you reset the x to 0 and increment the y and then continue incrementing the x again.

Yea I was thinking of either doing that or just using maybe newer versions of vm, im testing it on 2.2.  Anyway, if I create a Texture but don't add it to the manager, is there something I need to do to unload it, or will it automatically unload when it goes out of scope, or am I supposed to actually add all the Textures to the manager?

I wonder if the erratic behavior is related to this guy's theory http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6349943/android-bitmaps-recycling-and-heap-fragmentation

Wow how do you have so much stuff in your world without running out of memory? How many polys are those trees and bushes?

Oh noticed on the first post you mentioned you didn't think it would run on Android 2.X VM.  I didn't read through the rest of the thread, have you gotten it running on those VM or is it too much memory?

Thanks I didnt think I was using BitMaps directly but I realized that the AGLFont and TexturePack classes that Raft made create BitMaps and I was recreating the AGLFont object each time.  I set it to static and only create it once and I no longer get the memory issue.
