Questions about splitting up images for game use

#1

Hi, flash dev here, going into corona. I got a few queries about how to handle certain stuff, namely manipulating images and such in Corona.

Say I want to be able to break an image apart, calculated mathematically into geometric shapes (i.e. splitting a box image into two differently sized rectangles", how would I go about doing that? I’ve skimming tutorials but I don’t see much mention about this.

I know in flash its a simple matter of redrawing the object into 2 equal parts (or even unequal parts), positioning them accordingly, and then removing the original.

Is this possible in Corona (asides from creating the image twice and masking it, or making it movieclip/spritesheet/whichever)? [import]uid: 46833 topic_id: 8954 reply_id: 308954[/import]

Unfortunately, I don’t think what you’re describing is currently possible in Corona without duplicating the image and using masks… but Carlos mentioned the other day about upcoming graphics improvements, so perhaps what you’re describing will be possible then.
