Sorry your browser is not supported!

firstly sorry if I am mistaken and it is not an atlas image I am after

To set the scene, I have 2 images, a backdrop and a platform.
I want to have it so on touch a round sprite is created on top of the platform showing the backdrop behind it.

Can I call an atlas image with just the x,y coordinates? As the circle will always be the same size I could calculate which part of the image to show, then just offset it with the world coordinates?

To make matters worse I may want parallax scrolling as well, meaning all the sprites would need to change, this sounds very resource heavy.

Would it be possible to 'punch' a hole through the top sprite in another way?
I'm considering LOTS of sprites 1x1 pixel then delete sprite upon collision? I could then atlas up my board sprite to 1x1 pixel and concentrate on moving the backdrop for parallax?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Sorta, you set up the coordinates in a .txt file with a name associated with it. Then you simply call the name as you would any other sprite.

Here is my text file. I name the sprite, put in a staring X and Y coordinate then state how big the sprite is in X and Y in pixels.


edit: There is more to setting up atlas then just this. This file determines the coordinates.
