Spawning boxes with a constant loop from right to left

Games
#1

Can someone show me an example of three different sized boxes moving from right to left coming from off the screen and leaving off the screen… Basically a constant loop where it randomly spits out different sized boxes moving across the screen at random y values…

Thanks

nothing fancy, i didnt test it, so right out of the head
[lua]local rand = math.random

local function spawn_boxes()
box = display.newRect(400,rand(1,480), rand(10,50),rand(10,50) – this is your boxes spawning from outside the right side of the screen
transition.to(box, {time=1000, x=-50,y=box.y})
end

timer.performWithDelay(1000, spawn_boxes,0)[/lua]

you can then put a runtime function to destroy boxes upon leaving the screen, but its another story) good luck [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 13835 reply_id: 50806[/import]
