Creating a new animation?

by Michael Cozzolino · in iTorque 2D · 02/15/2010 (3:31 am) · 3 replies

Just got T2D for iPhone. I have been trying to get some of a little project I was doing on TGB to iPhone. Am I missing something? I have my static sprites added but when I try to add animated sprites I get the menu but no sprites to choose from to create the animation. I don't remember reading anything in the docs about having to do anything special.

    Well, an animation comes from a cell based image in this case, For example :

    Making the image map first :

    Making the animation :

    Then, making the animated sprite show up :

    This is part of the TGB docs, and is not iPhone specific. Be sure to do the tutorial at least, if you want to get further ;)

    Ah, thanks. I went back to my TGB project and realized that the animated sprites I had were linked images which it looks like we don't do anymore. At least not in iTGB

    Yes, you want sprite sheets, especially on the iPhone.
