      It looks like two different overloads.

      Either you can create a texture file using the gideros texture packer and load it (this is what I do), or you can specify a list of images {"file1.png", "file2.png"} and it will combine them all into a single texture in memory.

      The point of using a single "texture" that contains multiple images is for performance. It is faster to tell openGL "use this section of a texture" than to say "switch to texture 1 and display it."

      That's a great answer, thanks! I also use one bitmap, and I didn't realise there was another option. You learn something new every day with Gideros.

      It would be good if there was an option to add a rendertexture to a texturepack...
