Hi,
just before I start coding my next game I have a quick question which might turn whole idea upside down.
How many sprites can I have on the screen at the same time? For example on iPad if sprite size if 32x32, how many can I have? 20? 100? 500? Also, what about iPhone?
Game is a turn based so fps doesn't matter that much. Basically I need to place all those sprites in a grid, which should be scrollable with a touch swipe.
Without actually building a test app to check it, is this possible to calculate what are the limits of a given device, e.g. iPhone/iPad.
I'm just afraid that I might be trying to create something that is not technically possible and need to redesign game idea from scratch.
Thanks in advance.
