Hello to all developers!
First I want to say that I have read many articles on this subject in
this forum and on some external resources(very helpful was Robert
Green's diary at www.rbgrn.net and www.droidnova.com).
However, despite all of this I want to start topic regarding FPS, and
ask for advice from experienced game developers on Android platform.
My main question is "How to improve FPS when draw on Canvas?"
I have implemented simple 2D arcade game skeleton for testing purpose.
Now I have ~20 FPS and want to increase this value to 40-50 FPS, if
this is possible of course. I know about Open GL ES, but so far I am
interested in Canvas.
In every frame I draw following stuff on the screen:
- Canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK) - to clear the screen
- 1 spaceship PNG 24x24 image 1.25 kb
- 5 asteroids PNG 64x64 image ~8 kb each
- from 1 to 30 bullets PNG 8x8 image 299 b
- 4 30x30 Rectangles - to control objects on the screen
After running my app, in logcat I can see following output data:
- Average FPS: 20 (Total frames drawn: 1945 in 97 seconds)
- Average onDraw: 32 ms (clear canvas: 3, draw game stuff: 26, draw
controls: 1)
- Average updatePhysics: 1 ms
>From this output I can assume, that my main problem here is "draw game
stuff" wich includes:
- draw 1 spaceship
- draw 5 asteroids
- draw from 1 to 30 bullets
Thanks in advance
Best Regards, Andre
P.S.: sorry for my English
