5. Animating our Game > Time for action – creating the panda character
We need to set up the panda collision event and animate it with the sprite sheet accordingly.
- We need to create a local function that will introduce the collision and touch events for the panda. We shall call it
createPanda().local createPanda = function()
- When the panda collides with the stars, use
onPandaCollision()with the parametersselfandevent. Reloadpandaevery time a collision occurs with the stars or the edge of the screen by usingcallNewRound().local onPandaCollision = function( self, event ) if event.phase == "began" then if panda.isHit == false then panda.isHit = true if event.other.myName == "star" then callNewRound( true, "yes" ) else callNewRound( true, "no" ) end if event.other.myName == "wall" then callNewRound( true, "yes" ) else callNewRound( true, "no" ) end elseif panda.isHit then return true end end end
