Hi,
I need some information about using cocos2d in iPad.

Can we use 2048x2048 sprite sheets ? I read in this form that we can use but with limitation not more than 3 or 4 sprite sheets.
But, I have 10 animations in my game. maximum of 4 animations run at a time.

Can we use the CCDirectors in AppDelegate in the same way as we use in iPhone ?
```
if( ! [CCDirector setDirectorType:CCDirectorTypeDisplayLink] )
		[CCDirector setDirectorType:CCDirectorTypeDefault];

	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] setPixelFormat:kPixelFormatRGBA8888];
	[CCTexture2D setDefaultAlphaPixelFormat:kTexture2DPixelFormat_RGBA8888];
```
What can be the maximum size of the image that we can use?

Any limitations regarding the cocos2d and iPad please post them.

Thank you.

2048x2048 is the max size that is supported on iPad.
What you have read is that it is not recommended to render more than 3 or 4 FULL 2048x2048 textures at the same time. That's completely different from having many spritesheets.

BTW, you can have as many animations as you want (as long as you have space for them) in a single spritesheet. Tip: use Zwoptex.
