Hello, Is there any way to optimize animations? If I want to animate a lot of meshes at the same time, over 200 or 300 instances... they all are having their scaling animated, but at different times.

Hi there, Im having some issues with performance when i render thousands of sprites. Currently having issues with loading around 20k sprites, but eventually plan on having more (maybe even up to 60k) around the map. I did some research and found this is a somewhat common issue but cannot get a clear and concise answer. I ran some chrome profiles on my game to see whats holding me back: here are my results. To be honest, I don't really understand what that information means other than 20k sprites is too much. (I have a fairly decent computer and its slightly choppy at 20k trees, at say 60k its very choppy) Also, when I say choppy, I mean like it looks choppy, my movement is still fine (to make the point that its not like the game loop thats lagging). Essentially I have 20k trees being placed around a very large map that's being rendered with a tileSprite. However, it's not the map size that is holding me back since the performance I get is very dependent on the number of tree sprites. The tree's have no physics enabled on them and are just rendered and placed in a group then never touched again. Here is a snippet from my create function and how i render the trees. for(var i = 0; i<20000; i++){ treeX = Math.round(Math.random()*(mapSize-1)); treeY = Math.round(Math.random()*(mapSize-1)); temp = position(treeX, treeY); createTree = game.add.sprite(temp[0],temp[1], 'tree2'); treeGroup.add(createTree); } The position function I called in the loop just gets the pixel location of the tree's based on a tile, as shown below: var position = function(col, row){ column = (33*col+1); rowFin = (33*row+1); return [column, rowFin]; }; Any ideas as to how i can beef up my performance? Any way I could not render the tree's until they are in view? (Kill then revive when seen?) Any tips are greatly appreciated! Side note (if its useful), right now all I have is the tileSprite background, 20k trees, and movable player sprite. Edit: Would creating a chunk system be a good idea? If so anyone have any idea where to start with the best way to make one?
