How can I tumble blocks?

I�m making a puzzlegame with 32x32 blocks that are to be moved by (when selected by tapping it) when right is pressed it tumbles clockwise and thus moving 32 pixels to the right and vice versa when pressing left.

What is the best way to do this?

Anyone done something like this before?

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

One way to do it would be by spawning an object at it's bottom corner, the right corner when moving right and the left corner when moving left. Pin your 32x32 block to it and rotate the spawned object 180 degrees.

I found this one interesting enough to try and create:

Thank you for taking the time!

That looks very nice :) Would you mind sharing the capx so I can study it?

Thanks again.

I upgraded the original tumblebox file, because it wouldn't rotate the image on the box properly, so hre is a link to the new example, the new capx and the original capx:

Thank you very much! I?ll look into it as soon as I have figured out how to make it so only the selected one of multiple boxes (by clicking on it) will move. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

— LittleStains solution might be more what you're looking for, but I changed it up a bit with physics and also made it so you can select which box you are going to use (and I think this solution is a bit simpler). The key here is the physic angular velocity on an object with the physics behavior.

here is the capx file

Thanx alot!

Looks like I?ll use you selection function along with the other way to move the boxes <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
