Hey guys,

So I might be looking for a solution that doesn't exist, but here's my problem. I'm downloading images from a database, which is then converted from NSData into a UIImage. In my test I'm downloading three 1024x768 images, which are around 763KB each.

The image downloading and conversion to a UIImage works quite well, however what I'm have an issue with is converting the UIImage into an AppGameKit image. I've tried creating a method to turn the UIImage into a memblock and then use "agk::CreateImageFromMemblock( )" this works, but it's extremely slow. The three images download in about 1.2 seconds, however converting those three images into an AppGameKit image via memblocks takes an additional 5 seconds. When downloading more than just three images, it can take quite a long time.


The only thing I can think of is to make a UIScrollView and fill it with the UIImages and forget about passing the images into AppGameKit, but then I wouldn't be able to manipulate the images through AGK.


Hopefully someone has a solution.

I don't have a working iOS template anymore (and I can't be bothered to set one up) but have you tried saving the image (or a temp copy) to disk/storage and then using agk::loadimage()? I can't comment on speed but maybe worth a shot? Hopefully, it'd beat 5 seconds.

I was going to give that a try too, but I figured it would be just as slow unless there's a huge difference between "agk::CreateImageFromMemblock( )" and "agk::LoadImage( )". For now I've filled a UIScrollView with the UIImages, which is super fast. However, not being able to access these images through AppGameKit kind of defeats the whole purpose of me using AppGameKit for this app.
