Phonegap is made to create apps, not games. It doesn't take advantage of direct canvas or other graphics acceleration like Appmobi and cocoon.

Though I have built 2 games with phonegap through eclipse and implemented admob, the games were very simple word games.

Here is a youtube video showing hit boxes in Street Fighter II.

youtube.com/watch
it depends how accurate of a collision you want. The video might explain it better as you can see the boxes are actually larger then the arm. But are also only active on certain frames of the animation.

You could also use collision boxes. This is what a lot of fighting games use. You just create a sprite that is a box/rectangle and have it spawned invisible and use that to check collision. Have different image points on your animations and spawn the boxes to those image points.

Search the manual for the Distance expression. Basically it calculates the distance between 2 objects.

So if you are within a certain distance, perform an action.

On the extensions page of the cloud compiler there is a link that says SIMPLE EXAMPLE that is what I used.

I got it working by just copying and pasting their example and adding in the info from mopub. I had to add an extra } at the end. They seemed to have left one out.

Great, let me know what you here. I have all updated apps now that I guess are not serving ads. The one on itunes hasn't been reviewed yet, maybe I can get a new build up before it does.

Ugg, I didn't realize it had changed and I compiled new versions of games without even looking.

ludei, can you confirm if the old extension JSON setup still works as well?
Mine looks like this.

{

    "moPubBannerUnitiPhone": "myID",

    "moPubBannerUnitiPad": "myID",

    "moPubBannerUnitAndroid": "myID"

}

Well that's a good point, would be cool if we could do a split intro screen that has our intro and Ludei on the same page. It's not the page I dislike, it's the fact that there is my splash screen, and then the ludei one, and then the game starts.
