   Hi there,

   I currently working on a small game that also includes a card game. Now I am not sure how to do this the best way (memory wise). The card deck is standard 52 cards and I have a card class that does all the graphic.

   Now, at the moment for dealing cards, I create a layer and put my cards as sprite on that layer. The sprites are currently loading a single png for the card it shows, but the game layout could end up with up to 27 cards on the table. I want to try to do this with an atlasmanager, but I do not want to build everything that way and firgure out the memory use is much higher at the end.

   Any suggestions how to deal with this the best way ?

   thx.

   You will definitely use less memory packing the cards into atlas sprites, the way you are doing it now is less efficient.

   Even if I would have a card class that I use for every single card and have the atlas sprites in that class ?

   Or would it make more sense to have the atlas manager in the layer where I create the cards/sprites and give the image from the layer class to the sprite class ?
