iTGB splash screen last 10 seconds active

Hi,

iTGB splash screen last for 10-12 seconds in my iPOD. Is this the normal time for the GG splash screen?

Thanks

Mike

10s in itgb is very short ... its more common to be 20ms+ till the initialization is through if you didn't rework various things

your app is loading the iTGb engine itself then all of your datablocks in that time period

Ah, so if I have lots of datablocks it will stay visible for even more time?

you can cut down the initial loading time by removing stuff you aren't using (take a look in the common folder...I was able to reduce initial load time by 3 seconds by just removing some of the stuff in there we weren't using)

Additionally you can break up loading time (only load the bare essentials you need to start the game...then load everything else later). That helped us reduce load time quite a bit (although granted, I don't think we were ever able to get under 10 seconds...we did go from about 20 seconds down to 10 seconds though)
