Expanded Sprite Engine Tutorial
I've uploaded a new five-part tutorial in which I expand the sprite engine we originally created in the Star Defense tutorial.  The new features include:
 
  • Multiple animations per sprite, including looping and "fire and forget" animations
  • Sprite Targets - Sprites that move at a given speed towards a target point
  • Sprite Auto Rotation - Sprites that can rotate based on their current and previous positions
  • Sprite Paths - Sprites that can follow a defined path of points
Examples are included, as is a download of the full project at the end of the series.  Enjoy!  And remember, comments and questions are always welcome.

Thanks for the tutorials, does the sprite engine tutorial actually expand on the star defence tutorial? because I'm trying to make a 2D Side scroller shooter, this is my progress so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUoEY9UK3rU I have my sprite beautifully animated thanks to this tutorial, but i do not know how to make bad guys / scrolling background / shooting etc, if this tutorial actually does expand on the star defence, then I will re-do what I currently have and start from scratch with the star defence.
