Q:Should I use RGB565 for the images that are compressed by XCode ?.

If you want faster loading times you should reduce the size of your. The Pixel Format is how the image is stored in the GPU memory. Texture pixel format has nothing to do with the loading times of your game.

Q:If I use 16-bit textures, will my game load faster ?.

PVRTC images are faster and they consume less memory since they are either 2-bit or 4-bit textures but the quality is not that great.

Q:Can I use this technique for PVRTC images ?.

Set the pixel format before loading the image // RGB565 image (16-bit) Set the pixel format before loading the image // RGB5A1 image (16-bit) Set the pixel format before loading the image // RGBA 4444 image (16-bit)

Set the pixel format before loading the image // RGBA 8888 image (32-bit The default pixel format in v0.7.3 is RGBA8888. Useful for: background images in your game. It gives you the best possible quality for 16-bittextures, but without

5bits are assigned to the redchannel, 6bits.

Useful for: spritesthat have transparent parts, but the transparency is either It also gives you good speed and good memory consumption. It gives you good quality in RGB channels but poor quality on the A channel.

5bits are assigned to the redchannel, 5bits.

Useful for: spritesthat have different values of transparency It gives you good quality in all channels, good speed, good memory consumption.

4bits are assigned to the redchannel, 4bits.

Useful for: background image of your intro scene, and for images with lots of gradient colors

Memory is a precious resource on the iPhone Use this pixel format when you need the maximum possible qualityfor your image.īut it will consume the double of memory compared to 16-bit textures.

8bits are assigned to the redchannel, 8bits.

RGB5_A1 (16-bit) (kTexture2DPixelFormat_RGB5A1) The texture’s pixel formatis the way the image is stored in GPU memory. Since cocos2d v0.7.3, you can specify the texture’s pixel formatof your PNG/TIFF/BMP/GIF
