Animate Title Logo on screen...

Hi guys, it seems that i'm stuck on the simplest task. How can i animate my game logo moving automatically from offscreen left to center of the screen while changing size from small to big in the simplest of ways. Do i have to use behaviors or can it be done through the set position commands. Any samples will be greatly welcomed. Thank you...

Set its x to this:

lerp(self.x, WindowWidth/2, 0.8*dt)

Hope that helps, Let me know if you need me to explain it to you.

I mean set its x to that through events by the way <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thank you, smitchell. I am not at all familiar with lerp, can you explain how this works. Thanks for your prompt response.

Explanation of lerp - LINK from the how do I FAQ

For the size you can lerp it too, or check in the FAQ there's an example listed in the "sprite" section.

Lerp takes 3 perameters, a a, b and c.

the a is allways the start of what your lerping, It tends to only work if you call something like: sprite.opacity. ect then b is what you want it to lerp to, so if i want the sprite to animate from a opacity of 100 to 0 then i set b to 0. And c is the time it takes to do it. Usually 0.8 is a nice number buy you can play around with it. and then you times the number by dt this just makes things happen in real time.

So for a opacity of 100 to 0:

Sprite.setOpacity{lerp(Sprite.Opacity, 0, 0.8*dt)}

To animate its x position to the center of the stage:

Sprite.setX{lerp(Sprite.x, WindowWidth/2, 0.8*dt)}

To animate its y to center of stage:

Sprite.setY{lerp(Sprite.y, WindowHeight/2, 0.8*dt)}

Hope that was some help.

smitchell, thank you for explaining something that seems complex in a such simple manner. LERP is definitely going to be my new friend. Hope this also helps others as well. Going to start applying it right away.

Thanks for pointing me to the right links!
