In cocos2d, what is the method to change the anchorPoint and position without causing it to suddenly jump?
In cocos2d, I have a CCLayer that is being moved and scaled using touches and pinch gestures. By default, the zoom always goes towards the anchorPoint. Changing the anchorPoint fixes my zoom problem, but causes the sprite to suddenly jump. Here are two similar questions here and here, but I still don't know exactly what to do. Than...

How do you make a static sprite be a child of another sprite in cocos2D while using SpaceManager
I have two static (STATIC_MASS) SpaceManager sprites. One is a child of the other - by which I mean that one sort of builds up the other one, but although the child's images shows up in the right place, the child doesn't seem to exists in the chipmunk physics engine, like I would expect. In my case, I have a backboard (rectangular spri...

If I have two objects in chipmunk (I'm using cocos2d-iphone), once I've detected that they collided, how can I tell how hard they are hitting each other? I want their force (vs. the velocity) to know the damage of the collision. I've seen discussion about how to do this, but never concrete working code (and I couldn't get it work, ev...
