Leaving trails help

doncarbajosa

Hello, I am a Gideros Studio newbie and what I have created so far is a ball that you can drag anywhere and tap. Dragging the ball earns points while tapping the ball increases the points you can earn while dragging the ball for a little bit.

I wish to implement a trail system like for example, I dragged and moved the ball to another location, it then leaves a trails of stars or whatever and plays a sound effect then disappears.

Also, If you can also teach me how to show a little image above the ball whenever I TAP the ball and stays there for about half a second then disappears.

Sorry if I'm asking a little much as this is my 2nd post in the forums. I just hope someone can help me with this, I'm starting to learn Gideros because this is the only sdk that runs on my ARMv6 phone.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @doncarbajosa and welcome to the mad fun house

I have attached a slightly modified version of the Drag Me example which will add an image and then fade it when you click the main image.

To create the trails you could use something like a particle emitter attached to your ball and when the ball moves emit some particles. See here for @GregBUG's excellent TNT Particles Engine.
