Draw a frame outside the sprite to produce a select effect in Cocos2D Android

Question

I have a view which can contain multiple sprites at a time, now i want to have a select effect when ever i touch a sprite. Some Usefull/helping links would be very helpfull.

Answer 1

I see two ways:

1. To change the sprite with selected version (make original sprite invisible and show selected).

2. Create a frame sprite (possibly from multiple parts (add them to one parent)) and show it when you need to select the original sprite.

SOME CODE

CCNode *base = [CCNode node];
CCSprite *original = [CCSprite node]; //change this to create your sprite
[base addChild:original]

CCNode *frameNode = [CCNode node];
[base addChild: frameNode];
[frameNode setVisible:NO];
CCSprite *part1 = [CCSprite node]; //replace to create your part
[frameNode addChild: part1];
[part1 setAnchorPoint:. ...];
[part1 setPosition: ...];
[part1 setRotation: ...];
//add more parts

When your original sprite is selected:

[frameNode setVisible: YES]; //you can also use some CCAction to make it appear more beautiful
