<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44710358/Fruit-Ninja-Update.jpg" border="0" />

how create that kind of effect.

Prabably when hold left mouse button and move cursor create long or short slash

Commented example capx

This is mostly like drawing a line and playing an animation in the end.

With a bit of thinking about the events.

Kyatric thank you very much, you show me lot of interesting things! I appreciate it! :)

The real trick is making it curve! Very difficult!!

Kyatric i have one (maybe simple) question, how compare a dostance of slash if i want add sound. If slash is short- short sound and if its long- long sound ?

delgado: I guess on "touch release" you can add subevents that will test dash.width

If dash.width < X => Play sound1

If dash.width > X and <Y => Play sound2

if dash.width > Y => Play sound3

Something like that.

In fruit ninja slash sound is played even if you keep finger on the screen after the slash (no released touch event) and also begins when the slash start ... so perhaps it's more something about velocity checking ... and so need checking the range between previous and actual touch X/Y to give short or long sound ! it's not so easy and it's perhaps done with a lot of very small sounds playing after each others or a single sound but changing the playing speed of the sound itself !

Good luck, and i think many guys need this kind of effect so it's a really interesting post ;-p

I try with Height and Width before but if you said that i try one time

Hi, i picked up some old example from ROJOHound for something totally different and i got this.Fruit ninja slash

It can be better if you can finetune the Heigth for different distances from touch to Touchend.

WOOW this is too very cool :D
