Hy, I have started a Game in andengine for android, I want to apply a jump functionality on a sprite which will be like some projectile motion , up and forward as well . I have applied move modifier to gain that functionality. But that is not in projectile motion.
How can i achieve that and while the jump of my sprite by tapping again it cant jump again until it completes it jump.i dont want to use delay function on scene touch .any help .
final Entity playerEntity = move;
final float jumpDuration = 1;
final float startX = playerEntity.getX();
final float jumpHeight = 60;
move.getTextureRegion().setFlippedVertical(true);
final MoveModifier jumpForwardUp = new MoveModifier(jumpDuration/2, startX, startX - jumpHeight, playerEntity.getY(), playerEntity.getY() + 130);
final MoveModifier jumpForwardDown = new MoveModifier(jumpDuration/2, startX - jumpHeight, startX, playerEntity.getY() + 130, playerEntity.getY() + 170);
final SequenceEntityModifier modifier = new SequenceEntityModifier(jumpForwardUp ,jumpForwardDown);
playerEntity.registerEntityModifier(modifier);
Try using JumpModifier and for some real physics work, go for Box2d Extension of AndEngine and go through some of AndEngine examples code.
Edit:
AndEngine have list of modifiers. JumpModifier is one of them. Maintain a class level or project level flag that is true when your object is in jump and is false when object is in normal state.
Every modifier takes an object of IModifierListner set that flag to true in onStart of IModifierListner and set that to false at onEnd of IModifierListner. at every tap check if that flag is true then simple return and do nothing.

I'm making a simple jumping game for android using libgdx and box2d and I cannot figure out how to make sprites move really smooth. I have checked several articles regarding timestep fixing and synchronizing renderer and physics emulation, but none of the suggested ways really helped (http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/).
Finally I decided to run the most simple test setting box2d world step equal to the framerate (which in case of stable fps should provide the best performance), but still movement is not totally smooth. I have tested on PC and on Android device, with stable 60-61 FPS. Here is pseudocode:
In render:
world.step(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime(), 6, 2);
stage.act();
stage.draw();
Stage basically has just one actor with act and draw overriden:
#Override
public void draw(Batch batch, float arg1) {
float x = this.getX() - width/2;
float y = this.getY() - height/2;
batch.draw(sprite, x, y, width, height);
}
#Override
public void act (float delta) {
...
//get body position
position = body.getPosition();
this.setPosition(position.x, position.y);
}
Actor has box2d body attached to it, there is no gravity and body's velocity is set constant:
BodyDef bodyDef = new BodyDef();
bodyDef.type = BodyType.DynamicBody;
bodyDef.position.set(world_position);
bodyDef.linearDamping = 0f;
bodyDef.angularDamping = 0f;
bodyDef.fixedRotation = true;
bodyDef.gravityScale = 0f;
...fixure added to the body
body.setLinearVelocity(0, -2f);
Camera is not moving, the case seems to be dead simple and yet sprite does not move exactly perfect. (Though it still looks smoother then when using time accumulator and interpolation)
Is it possible to achive absolutely smooth movement at all? Is there some mistake in my approach?
I have checked some similar games on the same android device - it seems that objects are moving absolutely smooth, but maybe it just seems so, because too many things happen on the screen and I don't have time to notice.
Any advice would be appreciated.
After further testing and researched I have figured out the problem - it was related not to FPS, but to pixel rounding. Box2d bodies have float coordinates - after converting them to round pixel values animation bemace much smoother.
How about to use CCPhysicsSprite instead of change position of sprite by time? You can use a batch, too. Just
sprite = [CCPhysicsSprite spriteWithTexture:batch.texture];
[batch addChild:sprite];
CCPhysicsSprite class
Example:
#import "CCPhysicsSprite.h"
CCPhysicsSprite *sprite = [CCPhysicsSprite spriteWithFile:#"sprite.png"];
[self addChild:sprite];
b2BodyDef bodyDef;
bodyDef.type = b2_dynamicBody;
bodyDef.position.Set(300/PTM_RATIO, 200/PTM_RATIO);
body = world->CreateBody(&bodyDef);
b2CircleShape circleShape;
circleShape.m_radius = 0.3;
b2FixtureDef fixtureDef;
fixtureDef.shape = &circleShape;
fixtureDef.density = 1;
fixtureDef.friction = 0.3f;
body->CreateFixture(&fixtureDef);
[sprite setPTMRatio:PTM_RATIO];
[sprite setB2Body:body];
[sprite setPosition: ccp(300, 200)];
Hey guys so I've been trying to solve this for awhile I have looked on many forums and tried to understand what they were trying to convey with the code using ActionScript 3 but i still get nothing. My main goal is to have a character on stage named "mainPlayer" now i want to set up touch events so that when the user drages his finger up down or side to side i want to the mainPlayer to follow the users path or if the user touches a point on the screen and holds his finger there the mainPlayer will be attracted to the touch and move to the point where the finger is currently at on the screen.
Ive seen lots of stuff with Phase and ID implemented but dont really understand whats going on
so far this is what i have set up:
public class realmEngine extends MovieClip
{
//MultiTouch gestures
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;
public var mainPlayer:mcPlayer;
//PlayerControls
private var speed:Number = 8.0;
public var vx:Number = 0;
public var vy:Number = 0;
private var friction:Number = 0.85;
private var maxSpeed:Number = 15;
public function realmEngine()
{
//Add Player to Stage
mainPlayer = new mcPlayer();
stage.addChild(mainPlayer);
mainPlayer.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - 300;
mainPlayer.y = (stage.stageHeight / 2 );
//trace("this works");
//Setup Touch Event listeners
mainPlayer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
//Game Loop Event Listener
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameLoop);
}
private function gameLoop(e:Event):void
{
mainPlayerControls();
}
private function mainPlayerControls():void
{
}
private function onTouchEnd(e:TouchEvent):void
{
}
private function onTouchMove(e:TouchEvent):void
{
}
private function onTouchBegin(e:TouchEvent):void
{
}
}
I'm not sure what to do inside the onTouch Functions in order for the object that i add to stage by Code to follow the users touch on the screen.
Can anyone lead my in the right direction or give me any advice? I woudld really appreciate it thanks guys
Yes I happen to know how to do this, I just wasn't sure if I had grasped fully what you wanted to achieve.
Note that I won't be taking into account the speed and maxSpeed variables for moving the player. It's beyond this scope and beyond the scope of the top of my head. A little bit of internet searching will get you far on that subject however!
First of all, in order to make the object follow a path drawn by the user, we need a way to store the path. For this, I suggest a Vector with Point as its datatype. It's fast and easy to work with when adding and removing elements without having to worry about its length.
We also need a way to tell wether the player sprite should move or not, in other words wether the user is pressing the finger on the screen or not.
private var _pathPoints : Vector.<Point>;
private var _isMoving : Boolean = false;
Easy-cakes. Now for the fun part!
First, we need to change the scope of the onTouchBegin event, from mainPlayer to the stage. If we don't, the user won't be able to touch an abstract point on the stage and get the player sprite to move there. Simply done with a change to
mainPlayer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
Then we take care of when the user moves his or her finger. Nothing fancy going on here.
We're just simply storing the coordinates in our vector and storing the current state of wether the user is pressing the screen or not.
private function onTouchBegin ( e:TouchEvent ) : void
{
_pathPoints.push( new Point( e.stageX, e.stageY ) );
_isMoving = true;
}
private function onTouchMove ( e:TouchEvent ) : void
{
_pathPoints.push( new Point( e.stageX, e.stageY ) );
}
private function onTouchEnd ( e:TouchEvent ) : void
{
// Dirty but quick way of clearing the vector
_pathPoints.splice(0);
_isMoving = false;
}
Finally, for the even funnier part; the main game loop! Or "Where the Magic Happens".
private function mainPlayerControls () : void
{
// Update player position and forces
vx *= friction;
vy *= friction;
mainPlayer.x += vx;
mainPlayer.y += vy;
// Check if the player should be moving to a new point
if( _isMoving )
{
// Get a reference to the current target coordinate
var target : Point = _pathPoints[0];
// Check if the player position has reached the current target point
// We use a bounding box with dimensions equal to max speed to ensure
// that the player doesn't move across the point, move back towards it
// and start jojo-ing back and forth
if(mainPlayer.x >= target.x - maxSpeed && mainPlayer.x <= target.x + maxSpeed &&
mainPlayer.y >= target.y - maxSpeed && mainPlayer.y <= target.y)
{
// The player has reached its target
//so we remove the first element of the vector
_pathPoints.shift();
// and update the target reference
target = _pathPoints[0];
}
// Calculate velocities to the first element of the vector
vx = mainPlayer.x - target.x;
vy = mainPlayer.y - target.y;
}
}
I'm developing a simple game by andengine.
I have 10 balls which are moving randomly on screen.i'm importing the balls as picture in sprites.if they move at the same coordinate , they pass though their own insides.but i want: if they move at the same coodirnates ,they should change their directions.so they cannot pass through their insides.how can i do that?
private Runnable mStartCircle = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
int i = circleNumber++;
Scene scene = Level1Activity.this.mEngine.getScene();
float startY = -64.0f;
float startX = randomNumber.nextFloat()*(CAMERA_WIDTH-70.0f);
float a= randomNumber.nextFloat()*(CAMERA_WIDTH-70.0f);
circles[i] = new Sprite(startX, startY, textRegCircle[i]);
circles[i].registerEntityModifier(
(IEntityModifier) new SequenceEntityModifier (
new MoveModifier(10.0f, circles[i].getX(), a,
circles[i].getY(),CAMERA_HEIGHT+64.0f)));
}
scene.getLastChild().attachChild(circles[i]);
if (circleNumber < 10){
mHandler.postDelayed(mStartCircle,1000);
}
}
};
Each object(ball) requires a bounding box, or in your case a bounding circle, which is equal to the size of your sprite.
When the game updates and any balls position changes, you have to test for collisions.
Circle to circle collision testing is the simplest type to do.
if distance between (ball1.pos + ball2.pos) is less than (ball1.radius + ball2.radius) = collision.
You then handle the collision by reversing the velocities or calculating new momentums or something. (You also need to move the objects apart so they are no longer colliding)
Just apply a physical connector between balls:
so it will collide and bounce back.
final FixtureDef boxFixtureDef = PhysicsFactory.createFixtureDef(0.1f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
final Body ballBody = PhysicsFactory.createBoxBody(this.mPhysicsWorld, circles[i],BodyType.DynamicBody, boxFixtureDef);
this.mPhysicsWorld.registerPhysicsConnector(new PhysicsConnector(circles[i], ballBody, true, true));
this.mScene.attachChild(circles[i]);
I am using a Path in AndEngine that allows a sprite to be moved to a specific location providing the X and Y coordinates.
i have a cloud attached to my scehe, and i want the cloud to move back and forth from side to side but not exceeding the camera, on the X axis(which would be horizontal in landscape mode).
Here is what i have so far:
Sprite cloudSprite = new Sprite(50, 300, (TextureRegion)this.cloud);
final Path path = new Path(10).to(50,300).to(100, 300);
cloudSprite.registerEntityModifier(new LoopEntityModifier(new PathModifier(10, path)));
This doesnt work correctly though, ive tried changing the X, and Y to parameters but to no avail.
Anyone know how i could get this done?
You shouldn't be using a PathModifier for this purpose; Use MoveXModifier instead.
final float minX = 0;
final float maxX = CAMERA_WIDTH - cloudSprite.getWidth();
final float duration = //Duration for the full move across the screen here.
final MoveXModifier rightMoveModifier = new MoveXModifier(minX, maxX, duration);
final MoveXModifier leftMoveModifier = new MoveXModifier(maxX, minX, duration);
cloudSprite.registerEntityModifier(new LoopEntityModifier(new SequenceModifier(rightMoveModifier, leftMoveModifier)));
(Here we assume the cloud is placed in the left of the screen when the game loads)
This should work.
I want to draw a infinitely repeating parallax using Cocos2D on Android.
Now, there are some solutions given to this problem in Objective C, but I'm stuck with my implementation in Android. I have tried using
CCSprite background = CCSprite.sprite("background_island.png");
CCTexParams params = new CCTexParams(GL10.GL_LINEAR,GL10.GL_LINEAR,GL10.GL_REPEAT,GL10.GL_REPEAT);
background.getTexture().setTexParameters(params);
But it only extends the background in 1 direction.
I guess I have to use 2 sprites, such that as soon as 1st finishes, the other starts and vice versa, but I'm stuck with the implementation.
I had the same problem and figured it out.
Try this. Declare the background and offset as a member:
CCSprite _bg;
float _bgOffset;
In your scene constructor:
CGSize winSize = CCDirector.sharedDirector().displaySize();
_bg = CCSprite.sprite("yourbg.png"); // needs to be square, i.e. 256x256
_bg.setTextureRect(0, 0, winSize.width, winSize.height, false);
_bg.getTexture().setTexParameters(GL10.GL_LINEAR, GL10.GL_LINEAR, GL10.GL_REPEAT,
GL10.GL_REPEAT);
_bg.setAnchorPoint(CGPoint.zero());
this.addChild(_bg);
And in your update(float dt) method:
if (_bgOffset > 2000000000)
_bgOffset = 0; // don't want problems, do we?
_bgOffset += dt * PIXELS_PER_SECOND; // this can be dynamic if you want
_bg.setTextureRect(0, _bgOffset, _bg.getTextureRect().size.width,
_bg.getTextureRect().size.height, false);
See "Repeating Backgrounds" in http://www.raywenderlich.com/3857/how-to-create-dynamic-textures-with-ccrendertexture for the Objective C code
If you need to go both ways, you could perhaps start with a non-zero _bgOffset and see if that works.
Hope this helps someone!
