What is the most efficient way to draw huge objects?

[Bilge]

In my case I have many such large shapes but they are only outlines. These shapes are so large they may cover the screen many times over. However, since only the edges should be rendered it is possible that only its transparent centre sits in the view.

 

Should I create large sprites or is it too memory inefficient? Is it better to draw directly to the canvas? If so how can I do this?

I'm not an expert, but I'd say the most memory efficient way to do this would be to draw using BitmapData, as this would avoid having lots of sprites that need to be drawn every frame.

Hey Bilge, are your shapes provided as textures (like a png) or are you drawing them dynamically with code?

Also not an expert, but it seems to me that you need vector graphics. Hope this will help at least a little bit:

I do not have any personal experience with that in HTML5

I will draw them with code.
