Sprite movement

[stefanoa]

hi,
what is the best method to create a sprite, with the possibility of movement with touch?

i need of a sprite (ex. a man, composed of 50 images) and i've tried with this code (with spritesheet, canvas and bitmap) and it's ok..

Dim can1 As Canvas 
Dim bmpActor As Bitmap  
Dim re(55) As Rect
Dim s(55) As Rect
...

Sub timerInactivity_Tick
   actorSpriteMoveInactivity
End Sub

Sub actorSpriteMoveInactivity

   '--- display 50 images for sprite movement..
   For i = 0 To 49
      can1.DrawBitmap(bmpActor,s(inc),re(i))
   Next
   Activity.Invalidate 

   inc = inc + 1
   If inc > 49 Then
      inc = 0
   End If

End Sub

but now I need to use the library functions gesturedetector to move it with touch.

Using a panel and a static image (not a sprite) it's ok.. but with a sprite? how can i move ?

or there is another method to make a sprite animated with possibility of movement with touch?

thanks

Search for DraggableView class.

Search for DraggableView class.

This class won't help (it needs a view as Gesture Detector).

To animate a sprite, you could use the AnimationPlus library. It's a far better solution than the one you're using, but the library is a not totally free (donationware).
To move your sprite, bind the Gesture Detector to the activity, then check the X and Y coordinates when you receive an event (onDrag for example). If the X and Y are in the rectangle area of your sprite, you can move the sprite.
Hint: use getPixel of your bitmap to know if the X and Y are on a transparent pixel or an opaque pixel (the transparent parts should not be considered).
