cocos2d subclassing sprite to handle touch?

Question

I'm new to the cocos2d(-x) world.

I'd like to detect a touch to a sprite, and tutorials/examples seem to suggest using layer to detect touch and find the approapriate sprite with bounding box.

Is subclassing sprite to allow touch detection generally a bad idea?

Answer 1

it is better and much more clear to handle touches in one place. but i think, no one can bar you to do this
