/** @brief Node is the base element of the Scene Graph. Element of the Scene Graph must be Node objects or subclasses of it.
The most common Node objects are: Scene, Layer, Sprite, Menu.
/** @brief Node is the base element of the Scene Graph. Elements of the Scene Graph must be Node objects or subclasses of it.
The most common Node objects are: Scene, Layer, Sprite, Menu, Label.
The main features of a Node are:
- They can contain other Node objects (`addChild`, `getChildByTag`, `removeChild`, etc)
- They can schedule periodic callback (`schedule`, `unschedule`, etc)
- They can execute actions (`runAction`, `stopAction`, etc)
Some Node objects provide extra functionality for them or their children.
Subclassing a Node usually means (one/all) of:
- overriding init to initialize resources and schedule callbacks
- create callbacks to handle the advancement of time
- overriding draw to render the node
- overriding `draw` to render the node
Properties of Node:
- position
- scale (x, y)
- rotation (in degrees, clockwise)
- GridBase (to do mesh transformations)
- anchor point
- size
- visible
- z-order
- openGL z position
Default values:
- rotation: 0
- position: (x=0,y=0)
- scale: (x=1,y=1)
- contentSize: (x=0,y=0)
- anchorPoint: (x=0,y=0)
- position (default: x=0, y=0)
- scale (default: x=1, y=1)
- rotation (in degrees, clockwise) (default: 0)
- anchor point (default: x=0, y=0)
- contentSize (default: width=0, height=0)
- visible (default: true)
Limitations:
- A Node is a "invisible" object. If you want to draw something on the screen, you should use a Sprite instead. Or subclass Node and override `draw`.
Order in transformations with grid disabled
-# The node will be translated (position)
-# The node will be rotated (rotation)
-# The node will be scaled (scale)
Order in transformations with grid enabled
-# The node will be translated (position)
-# The node will be rotated (rotation)
-# The node will be scaled (scale)
-# The grid will capture the screen
-# The grid will render the captured screen
- A Node is a "void" object. If you want to draw something on the screen, you should use a Sprite instead. Or subclass Node and override `draw`.
