Advice for a beginner

Hi All,

I just started using PIXI a few days ago, it's a great tool and i've been having fun with it.

I'm working on a little game (www.evade.mx) but it seems that with mobile browser (Chrome on android) the game simply doesn't work, before knowing PIXI, I was using Canvas without any other framework and the game ran well. I'm pretty sure there is something simple that i don't know of yet.

Could you help me with some suggestions about what to check?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, lets start from easy things. Does it work if you create CanvasRenderer?

//autodetect
var renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(width, height);
//WebGL
var renderer = new PIXI.WebGLRenderer(width, height);
//Canvas
var renderer = new PIXI.CanvasRenderer(width, height);

Thanks a lot Ivan,

I've already found the problem (or that's what i think). I was using too many Graphic objects and that affected the performance in mobile devices, instead of that now im using sprites and the games run well

I'm facing the problem of making the game capable of running on Safari Mobile, it only shows a white screen.

Get your debugger out, a white screen implies something has crapped out fairly early on, I expect there is a dirty great error message that will probably light the way

@AaronBC pixi is all about sprites

Thanks @mattstyles, i've already done that, no errors.

I was reading some topics about that issue but it seems that it was solved a while ago. I'm going to do some research these days.

@ivan.popelyshev I noticed!
