Graphics / Huge slowdown when drawing
« on: April 09, 2010, 04:06:56 pm »
I'm drawing the background for a pacman clone, using a grid of tiles. Each Tile is a basic structure that holds a pointer to a sf::Sprite. My grid at the moment is 28 by 31 - so 868 sprites drawn each frame. The problem is this absolutely murders the framerate, taking it down from about 80 FPS to about 8.
Am I going about this in the right way, or am I missing the point of sf::Sprite? Or is it something else that I should be changing in my approach? This just seems like too big a slowdown when all I'm doing is drawing the background.
