Chapter 23. The Singleton Pattern, Java HashMap, Storing Bitmaps Efficiently and Designing Levels
This is going to be a very busy and varied chapter. We will learn the theory of the Singleton design pattern.
We will be introduced to another of the classes of the Java Collections, HashMap in which we will see how we can more efficiently store and make available the wide variety of bitmaps that are required for this project.
