12/15 frames/sec aim for
medium is good enough quality for graphics
bitmapped backgrounds can adds lots of visual detail more cheaply than vectors can without reducing game speed.
level completion is more important to players than scoring, lower file size use png
watch the memory graph
Maybe don’t rely on dynamic object creation, use all the assets lying offscreen, user won’t see them!!
Consider useing transparent .gif instead of png to lower memory usage
“Flatten your Math” by doing the calculations with a calculator if you need and manual hard code results instead of using processor to calculate!Complicated vector objects eg complex curves ”cost’ more than simple math curves
collision detection is expensive, use grandiose lookup table based on positionrender

using vectors consider take screenshots to use bitmapped images from

use limited color textures plus 16 bit color detection::
