Currently the setanchor function only sets the anchor within the sprite frame. Is there any (easier) wway to change the anchor point to a coordinate on screen space? My purpose is to allow the sprite to rotate around a circle. TIA for any suggestions made. ...

Hello, I have a very simple constructor in ActionScript as the following: public function ButtonTest() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, browseFiles); } My problem is that when I open the SWF file itself, the window is not full size and the whole area responds to the mouse click. If I expand the window to full size, a margin ...
I have basic DOM menu that has sprite background images for the first level of "LI"s. It works just fine, but I guess there is some problem and instead of switching the image right away on hover it goes blank and after about a second the hover image "appears" (shifts). That happens only on first hovering. After that it's smooth like it'...
Hey everyone, Just wondering - throwing ideas in my head - about starting a new XNA project for the 360. I would like it to be retro-old school, and emulating scanlines and color palettes and such. As part of this idea, what I would ideally like to do is manually draw each and every pixel of the screen. So, worst-case scenario I would...

Hello everyone, I'm wondering about how the NES displays its graphical muscle. I've researched stuff online and read through it, but I'm wondering about one last thing: Nametables. Basically, from what I've read, each 8x8 block in a NES nametable points to a location in the pattern table, which holds graphic memory. In addition, the ...
I'm using CCSprite to redraw my app's background image (it's like a moving background). However I'm also using CCSprite to draw my hero and enemies. At some cases the enemies goes behind my background image. My understanding is that if you do: [self addChild:sprite1]; [self addChild:sprite2]; Then sprite1 will be behind sprite2 if the...

Is it possible to improve performance drawing sprites by reducing the number of bit planes used in their image file? For example if you only used 4 colours and hence image was 2 bitplanes, would cocos2d show and manipulate these quicker than a 24 bit colour sprite? ...

I'm working on an iPhone game using Cocos2d where the main character is approximately 194x114. the animation consists of 100+ frames making my spritesheets larger than the 1024x1024 limit. The obvious solution would be to separate the animation to several files and swapping spritesheets when necessary. while doable (i guess) i'm not qui...
