Quick question - does phaser only render what's in the viewport?

[vspinnet]

I have a large 2D isometric game with many sprites/tiles (using a texture atlas). Normally I would write code that only renders graphics that are within the viewport with large maps. Does Phaser do this automatically? I'm not sure if I should add all my sprites at one time, or if I need to write code that adds/removes sprite that are in or not in the viewport..

Large or many sprites?

My tiles are 64x32 pixels. My 2D isometric maps can be up to 300x300 tiles. If the entire world is rendered with each update, I am going to add code that adds or removes sprites depending on whether or not they're in the viewport, but I don't want to bother if this is done automatically.

I don't think it is.

My game's viewport is set to your window size while my map is MUCH bigger.  

By accident I made the viewport the same size as my world size and the performance was awful.  

When I reduced the viewport size, the performance went back to normal.

Disclaimer: I am an experienced JS dev but new to Phaser.

Interesting. Thanks!

It is 90000 tiles. This is very bad.

A large number of objects in the scene leads to low productivity. I would advise to remove unwanted tiles or combine them into larger ones.

Thanks. That's what I'll do.
