24 SEP 2022:
- The first of four battleships is now implemented in the game. The logic needs adjusting and the projectile animations need some work, but so far it's looking the way I'd like.
- I've mentioned before that .png files are often larger than their .jpg counterparts. But this week I came across a cool website called TinyPNG that does an AWESOME job of compressing png files! How awesome? Check this out!
Both images have the same dimensions and are both .png files. But the original one on the LEFT is 373KB and the one on the RIGHT (which was compressed using TinyPNG) is only 44.2 KB!!!
373 / 44 = ~8
8 TIMES SMALLER but still looks about the same!
With that being said, I noticed that when you compress some png images, the picture quality GOES DOWN.
The one on the left is the original and you can see how the shades of green transition much more smoothly than . . . .
. . . the one on the right which is a compressed PNG but has noticeable rings around the shades of green.
