Hey,

I'd like to ask about AppGameKit speed. Does it differ from casual applications? And is Tier 1 slower than Tier 2, as it's using basic?

Thanks.

AGK may have a limited command set for now, but when it comes to SPEED it's up there with the BEST.

I would give AppGameKit T2, 5 stars for speed on Windows & iOS (I only tested those 2)

I haven't noticed any difference in speed between Tier 1 and 2 but since there isn't much difference in the actual executable I'd be surprised if there is much difference in general.

AGK games I have made run very fast, even when my code is not fully optimised.

I'm hugely impressed. I have had no performance problems running my games on iOS either through the AppGameKit Player.

I'm running a tier 1 app at almost 400fps. Fast enough for you?

Sure. How many sprites do you draw?

I guess that Tier 2 (C++) should be faster than Tier 1 (BASIC). Or atleast i hope so, because i prefer Tier 2.

I've been very impressed with the speed of AGK. It runs fast in my PC and while it does slow down on my iPhone 3GS, I blame that more on having up 1200 sprites on screen with AI for all of them (it runs full speed up to 300 sprites!)

Edit: tier1

Hi there. My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you.

The speed is pretty good overall. Only thing to slow it down much on android and ios I have seen, is using a lot of physics enabled sprites, Say 300 or more.

AGK benefits from putting a lot of work that any app needs to do inside the engine, and everything inside the engine is coded using the native languages of the platform, which means it runs at native speeds for the most part. The T1 BASIC language converts down to byte code that has been designed for speed, not beauty, so although the byte code structures are larger than they could be, they also run very fast indeed using every crafty trick in the book. T2 C++ of course compiles down to native code anyway, so those apps will be marginally faster. We've seen lots of games in the short time AppGameKit has been available, and performance is certainly not an issue as far as we know. Even the browser platform which is still under development is running at many thousands of FPS, which is nice

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.
