Hangout Highlights – Limiting Work Between Frames To Improve Touch Driven Game Performance

Last week on Corona Geek Hangout 144, we talked about improving touch based game performance using touch coalescing. We also looked at using image masks to create a circular dial timer, similar to what we’ve seen before from Jason Schroeder.

We also talked with QuestLord developer, Eric Kinkead about his coming release of QuestLord 2 and his fun Camera Pixel camera app.

Here are clips from Hangout #144. Watch the entire Hangout, or just the pieces that interest you.
