Another major issue I've faced in my project is performance. Some performance issues, of course, are related to memory consumption, while others are more complex. One tool, though, that I believe has greatly improved Flight Odyssey's performance is TexturePacker. I first discovered TexturePacker when I read this article/video. Just like Corona SDK, that video made some pretty bold claims about the performance benefits of TexturePacker, but they appear to be true. I'll admit I was skeptical at first, particularly when the initial impact of the software was to increase texture memory usage by a factor of 6 (since all images had to be loaded, not just the ones in use). Nonetheless, when I ran my app on a device, performance appeared to have dramatically improved. I still don't really know how that worked, but I suppose the theories presented in the video must be accurate. Not only does TexturePacker improve performance, it also provides a better way of organizing sprites, unlocks several features of Corona SDK that are only available with sprite sheets (like easy animations), and can decrease the size of the app. The biggest drawback is that it costs $40 to get the full version. Fortunately, you can use the essential mode for free (though it lacks some of the optimizations) and bloggers/framework developers can get a free license for the full version.
And of course, this list could never be complete without Corona SDK. I've mentioned before how impressive it is, to the extent that it inspired me to create this app, but it can't hurt to repeat it.Welcome to Flight Odyssey pilot training! Here's all the basics you need to get up and running. If you already know some of it, feel free to click the following links and skip ahead.
Click the button on the left to instantly taxi to the left side of the runway, so you can take off towards the right. Or, click the button on the right to instantly taxi to the right side of the runway, so you can take off towards the left.
The door button will exit you from the game and take you to the menu, where you can view the instructions - which you're looking at right now!
On the missions page, you can choose a mission to accept, cancel your current mission, or keep your current mission. You can only do one mission at a time, so choose wisely!
Different missions give different amounts of coins and experience. Each time that you complete a mission, you'll get half as much money and experience.
On the plane page, you can switch which plane you are flying, upgrade a plane that you own, or buy a new plane. Scroll up and down to see all of the available planes. Every plane can be unlocked in two ways: If you gain the amount of experience needed, you will unlock the plane for free. Otherwise, you can buy it using coins.
You can upgrade your plane to improve its maneuverability, fuel tank, stability, or safety by clicking on the upgrade button. Each property can be upgraded up to 10th level.
Don't ever run out of fuel, or you'll immediately crash (even if you're on the ground)! If you're having an issue with fuel, be sure that you're refueling every time you land. If that doesn't solve the problem, you may need to upgrade your plane's fuel tank or buy a new plane with a larger fuel tank. Some runways are just too distant from each other to be reached with a basic plane!
Another helpful hint: If you enter a menu while at a runway, your plane will automatically refuel.
Various weather conditions will be introduced to you as you proceed through the game. If you want a sneak peak, here's some hints:
And finally, remember that you can pause the game at any time if you need a few seconds to think or want to review the instructions. When you return from the main menu, you'll appear at the last runway you successfully landed at.
