Hi all
In my script, I use this fonction
Image.createEmpty(480, 272)
But I want make a bigger picture.... And when I type
Image.createEmpty(1000, 500) It say "Invalid picture size..."
Hmm. How can we create a picture bigger than 480, 272?

Thank!!

I'm pretty sure the max is 512x512.

correct 512x512 is max, but you can create larger images using tiles (sidescroller etc)

Yeah, but technically, that's more than one image.

But if it gets the goal accomplished, then what's the difference ? :)

I'm sure the filesize would differ from one image and say, 20, as would game speed.

Blitting is the slow part so it is better to blit one big image rathe than 4 small ones but the max being 512x512 allows images to be large enough so that you do not have to blit too many images at once
