Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello fellow developers,

Summer break is coming and I am back working on a new iOS game again with corona! I notice there are a huge loads of updates like local notification (yay!) and game center! And the level editor looks good. Thanks Corona!

So back to my question. I am using the sprite API provided by ansca. Is it possible to change the sprite’s color in anyway so that players are able to switch skin colors for their character without having me creating different sprite sheets for each skin color. If i am doing it totally wrong, please let me know too! [:

I’d say no, although it depends what the player looks like.

I’ve used setFillColor on sprites of walking bugs that only needed to be one color but on something more complex it wouldn’t work.

TL;DR - for now you’d need to create different sprites for each color set.
