Slick Forums

I recently found out that my game's fps would increase by 50% if I didn't render a background tilemap. I figured it would be best to render the relatively small tiled map to a texture instead, and render that texture.

Unfortunately, this would not work by traditional means, so I did some research, and it turns out that libgdx has a Framebuffer class that allows me to render to a libgdx texture. however, I don't know how to get a libgdx texture to be used by a slick.

Does anybody know how I can create an image in Slick-AE?

Sorry, I meant to reply to myself earlier.

First off, thankyou for the detailed explanation. You show an understanding of OpenGL that I do not have. But unfortunately, there are some problems. I don't know how to use your code to create an image in the enter() method of a basicGameState, and then re-use it throughout the render method. However, even if I did know how to do this, there would e a separate problem because I am using android, detailed here . Basically, if the user switches to the homescreen, and then tries to resume the game, all of the gl context is lost, along with any dynamic textures.

I decided to use a workaround. Essentially, I decided to manually add images of the tiled maps that I would use, and render those instead of the actual tiled map.

Okay, I think I understand now. However, I am still stopped by the fact that the graphics are all destroyed if the user views the homescreen. I will just continue to prerender my maps. Thankyou for the explanation.
