Hi all,

I've seen that there are two apk files within the build folder for Android:

MonkeyGame-debug.apk
MonkeyGame-debug-unaligned.apk

What's the difference?

Aligned apk applications have all their uncompressed data aligned to 4-byte boundaries, allowing it to be accessed directly through some of the android APIs. Benefit of alignment is supposedly less memory overhead when running the app.
