SpriteBatch - What is it good for?

Post by kikito »

I'm just curious about this LÖVE feature.

What are the uses of SpriteBatch? Is drawing a spritebatch faster than just drawing the equivalent images and quads directly, with love.graphics.draw?
When I write def I mean function.

Yes, it should be. Especially if you don't update the SpriteBatch each frame.

I see.

I thought that SpriteBatches got "emptied" once they got drawn. :P

They don't - It makes sense, for example if you want to repeat the same sprite groups again and again, on different positions. Thanks!
