Bundling image loading #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Thanks to Firebug, I realized that each loading of a different image leads to a 
new request sent, to retrieve the image.

GWT has a nice mecanism to bundle images, as base64 data into the JS for small 
images, or has a big bundle image that is then split for bigger images. This 
leads to faster image downloading, hence faster game starting.

I don't know if it's already on the roadmap, or even possible, but having this 
feature automatically handled by ForPlay would be great.

We went this route to begin with but ended up with multiple copies of the data 
uri in memory, leading to lots of bloat. In the end manual sprite sheeting 
turned out to be a better approach.
