Make joints visible, how?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’ve been looking for this information everywhere on the forums with no luck. Has anybody ever found a way to show the links between joints without using the hybrid mode. I need to attach a ball to a rope.
I started to use the chain sample and add the ball at the end of the chain but I think there should be an easier way?
Anybody?

thanks

I just drew a line (display.newLine) between the two points for a recent project. It worked well enough, they i had to update the line every frame while the joint was present. [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 30428 reply_id: 121913[/import]

Thanks, I thought that could work too, do you need to remove the old line or you just modify it’s parameters?
Mmmh, I’ll give it a try, thanks again.

I am removing it and recreating each time. [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 30428 reply_id: 121922[/import]

IIRC currently you would need to remove and recreate the line. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 30428 reply_id: 121950[/import]

How to make lines render smoothly and anti-aliased like in Contre Jour game? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txy2a7keZCw) I need very smooth edges in my game.

Can we achieve this render quality with corona? [import]uid: 110918 topic_id: 30428 reply_id: 121962[/import]
