STREAMING
Although the whole game is about 550 KB long, only the first 210 KB have to be downloaded for the player to be able to start. This includes the main menu, the interface, sounds and the first four rooms. All the other rooms are downloaded in the background while the user is playing. This feature allows us to add a virtually endless number of rooms to the game enviroment without increasing downloading time.
