External loading made easy

external loading

Did you all know that external loading can save you time on loading

before the game starts?External loading rules.

The Pros to External loading is:

*Faster loading times

*Smaller .exe file size

*Less ram usage

The Cons for External loading is

*No instant play features

*Use of global variables(if the sprite fits more than 1 purpose)

*Resources are open to the public

I made an external loading example that is truly awesome. A background that is 3.75MB loaded in a second. That is awesome.

The example can be downloaded from here:

  1. Wow you are an idiot. External Files still work with Instant Play. You don’t use global variables. You can use local to make it easier.
