Im using cocos2d version 3 in Xcode.
I want to move a sprite to a number of touch locations, in the order they were touched. It'll be a different number each time.
With TouchBegan I've added sprites that look like targets at the touch locations, and saved them as objects in an array. I've initialized the array and it's working fine.
I need to move a sprite to the first objects location, then the second, third etc. I'm nearly there but can't find a way to 'cycle through' the array to get the locations. I can only get the first location by setting up a CCNode as objectAtIndex:0 and using the nodePosition.
This is asking a lot, but I've googled for days and I can't find anything! Been on this for days!
Following the example on: http://www.raywenderlich.com/61391/how-to-make-a-simple-iphone-game-with-cocos2d-3-0-tutorial
You can use the following code to go to each point:
// 4
CCActionMoveTo *actionMove = [CCActionMoveTo actionWithDuration:1.5f position:targetPosition];
CCActionRemove *actionRemove = [CCActionRemove action];
[theSprite runAction:[CCActionSequence actionWithArray:#[actionMove,actionRemove]]];
And when you reach the target point just add the following target

I have a grid where I'm using one sf:RectangleShape object and with changing parameters of it inside a loop I can populate a wide area with them. Now I want to make grid visible to assist with placing Rectangles.
But here comes the issue.
If I will use rectPtr->getRect()->setOutlineThickness(-0.5f); Note: Its pointer created from custome class. From unknown reasons final program becomes really slow and unstable. Its running just fine with setOutlineThickness(0.f);. Im using negative value because of that grid, but there is no problem,. it do same with positive values.
Is there some way to use setOutlineThickness(); function without slowing the program?
May it be some kind of bug?
I'm using sf::Transform 3x3 matrix at window.draw(), could be there some violation?
average FPS with setOutlineThickness(-1.f) = 16.fps
average FPS with setOutlineThickness(0.f) = 60.fps
many thanks
So I'm working on a project for a class and I'm still trying to figure out how to go about doing something.
I am making a game where there is a board of squares or hexagons, they are either black or white, each being a state of being "Flipped", and when you click one square/hexagon, it flips all the adjacent shapes too.
Here is an image of what I am aiming to create.
Assignment images
I have gotten it running with squares, but now I need to do it with Hexagons. With the squares I registered a mouseclick as being within a square parameters of the x and y location of the click, and the state changes are assigned to a list of values assigned similarly to how the shapes were assigned within a list.
I will include a quick recording of the square program running in a folder I'm going to link.
Now, I believe I can't apply this kind of system to hexagons since they don't really line up like the squares did.
So how would I go about making a click register within a single hexagon on a grid? I have already drawn out the grid, but I am stuck on what to do to register a click to allow a hexagon to change it's state from un-flipped to flipped. I'm pretty sure I know what to do for the state change itself, but I don't know how to go about this, would it involve something with making a separate Class or something? I would appreciate any help with this.
I'll put a dropbox link here for the progress I made so far, and a pdf manual for graphics.py.
Dropbox: Python files
You can view the python code in your web-browser with dropbox too, I don't really want to fill this page pull of an entire thing of code..
Any help and feedback would be wonderful, thank you c:
so, TL;DR: How do you register a click within a polygon shape in python that allows it to change a value (within a list?) and change its visual appearance.
Just for the general side of your question, you can use a test to check if a point (x, y) is inside a polygon (formed by a list of x, y pairs).
Here's one such solution: http://www.ariel.com.au/a/python-point-int-poly.html
# determine if a point is inside a given polygon or not
# Polygon is a list of (x,y) pairs.
def point_inside_polygon(x,y,poly):
n = len(poly)
inside =False
p1x,p1y = poly[0]
for i in range(n+1):
p2x,p2y = poly[i % n]
if y > min(p1y,p2y):
if y <= max(p1y,p2y):
if x <= max(p1x,p2x):
if p1y != p2y:
xinters = (y-p1y)*(p2x-p1x)/(p2y-p1y)+p1x
if p1x == p2x or x <= xinters:
inside = not inside
p1x,p1y = p2x,p2y
return inside
This can be used in a way that is quite symmetrical to your drawing code, as you also form polygons in the same way for drawing as you would to test to see if the cursor is inside a hex.
You can modify the above implementation also to work with this Point type you are using to draw the polygons.
The rest you should be able to figure out, especially considering that you managed the input handling and drawing for the square grid.
I want my ninja to follow another ninja as it moves. My method works except that it is facing its back towards the moving object rather than its from. Can anyone help me
Ogre::Vector3 theOffset(30, 0, 0);
mSceneMgr->getSceneNode("NinjaNode1")->setAutoTracking(
true, mSceneMgr->getSceneNode("NinjaNode2"),Ogre::Vector3::UNIT_Z,theOffset);
I think i need to use offset but i'm really not used to setting positions using vector3... Can anyone flip my character around so that the front faces the moving object... thanks
Try changing the 3rd parameter of setAutoTracking from UNIT_Z to NEGATIVE_UNIT_Z.
I have a CCSprite which gradually needs to be exhausted linearly from one end, lets say from left to right.For this purpose ,I am trying to change the textureRect property of the sprite so that the part that got exhausted from one end is 'outside' the displaying frame of the sprite.
I did this sort of thing before with a sprite that gets loaded from a spritesheet.And it worked perfectly.But I created this CCSprite using CCRenderTexture and by changing the textureRect property,the entire sprite gets disappeared.
The first image is the original CCSprite which I get from CCRenderTexture.The second image shows what I want to achieve.The black dotted rectangular portion of the Sprite needs to be omitted out.Only the blue dotted portion of the sprite needs to be displayed.Essentially,this blue dotted rectangle is my textureRect.
Is there any way how I could make my sprite reduce from one end.
Also is there any difference between a sprite created normally,and one created using CCRenderTexture.
I have done similar thing like this before using some low-level hack.
There is a work around solution if you use CCProgressTimer, that's very easy and I think it should be enough for your examples.
But you said in comment that you have some special requirements like "exhaust it from both the ends at once" then some low-level hack is needed. My solution from my last object is:
1) Get the texture image's raw data. In cocos2d you can use CCRenderTexture and in cocos2d-x you can use CCImage.
2) CCRenderTexture has a method of - (BOOL) saveToFile: (NSString *) name
format: (tCCImageFormat) format
. You can read its source code then try to save it into an 2D array instead like byte raw[1024][768]. Each element in this array represents one pixel on your picture(the type may not be byte, I'm not sure, nearly forget the details). The format MUST BE PNG since transparency will be needed.
3) Modify raw data directly, set pixel's transparency to 0x0 which you want it to disappear.
4) Re-initialize a CCRenderTexture using picture data you modified.
I can't provide the code directly since is a trade secret and core part of one of my projects. But I can share you my solution. You also need some knowledge about how PNG file works. Read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics#File_header
Turns out I was making a silly mistake.While supplying values to the textureRect(CGRect),I was actually setting the textureRect.origin.y to the height of the texture which made my textureRect go beyond(above) the texture area.This explains why they were disappearing.
Hi i want to develop game like 'Doodle jump'.But i have some problem with the following features-
1.How to move background scene/image.
2.How to detect collision between object.Is it needed a physics engine like box2d or i should just use manual collision.
3.what should be the size of the background image.
4.In fact i have no idea how does background move .So i need a explanation from someone.
Background Movement
A) You could create a TMX Tilemap and then make a very high Tiled-Map.
B) You could create one texture and then cycle the texture coords instead of really moving it.
Detect it manually. Best is detect it via "Point in Boundingbox" or "Rect in Rect".
For more detail visit my blog entry for collision detection with cocos2d : http://www.anima-entertainment.de/?p=262
Size of an Image
Keep in Mind that textures are always at power of 2 in the memory. If you want to create one Background-Image at retina highresolution (960x640 Pixel) in the memory will be a texture of 1024x1024. If possible use smaller Background-Images and stretch them. (like 512x512). But I really would recommend for big scrolling images the TMX Support.
CCTMXTiledMap * tmxNode = [CCTMXTiledMap tiledMapWithGMXFile:#"Level.tmx"];
// lets say you want to move it 50 pixels down in 1 second :
[tmxNode runAction:[CCMoveBy actionWithDuration:1.0 position:ccp(0,-50)];
To create a tilemap : http://www.mapeditor.org/
In the folder of cocos2d, you could get many demos of tilemap.
