I want to clone 100 sprites, but I afraid memory increases rapidly.

Cloning a sprite is the same as creating a new one, it just saves you having to copy the parameters. Sprites themselves don't use that much memory, the images assigned to them use far more so as long as they share images (and don't each load their own copy of the image) it should be fine.

hmm never looked into it, but do you mean a clone points to the same memory as the original for the image handle? just a popped up question reading your response..

Cheers,

Yes, when cloning the image handle is copied and not the image.

It's like:



That would create 100 sprites using a single image.
