Cocos2d: Solid color rectangular sprite??

Question

I must be missing something!

I want to create a solid rectangular CCSprite with a background color initialized to a particular RGB value. I have looked all over the docs and can't find anything.

Is there a way to initialize the background of CCSprite to a specific color? I don't want to have to include a solid color PNG for each colors that I will need.

Help!

Answer 1

CCSprite has a color property of type ccColor3B:

- (ccColor3B) color [read, assign]
RGB colors: conforms to CCRGBAProtocol protocol    

Definition at line 145 of file CCSprite.h.

Source: CCSprite reference.

You can easily construct a ccColor3B struct using ccc3():

ccc3(const GLubyte r, const GLubyte g, const GLubyte b)

Reference: ccColor3B reference.
