Excellent. This will be the first AIR app I’ve tried on my N1 (I had no problem finding it in the marketplace, btw).

Thanks!

” But creating bitmaps as powers of 2, manually stopping events from bubbling, and adding final onto your functions everywhere just seems ridiculous. ”

Absolutely… tons of optimizations need to be made to the compiler and other elements in the tooling to keep us from smacking our thumbs with our hammers. A lot of manual checking exists right now that hopefully will go away very soon.

@Shaun Auto. I have a ton of re-factoring to do before I can start optimizing. I’m not sure if you’ve read the optimizing for Android PDF but it’s pretty insane what they expect you to do, hehe, so I’m focusing on getting the app right first before I start optimizing.

Regarding Robotlegs optimizing, the Mediator creation/destruction isn’t the biggest hit according to the profiler, it’s the EventMap.dispatch that seems to be using a lot of CPU time.

Regardless, yes, I definitely plan on doing manual mediation later… it’s just a pain to do, so figured I’d get things working right according to users first, then optimize.
