add visual below finger swipe, Triangle strip like fruit ninja Andengine - andengine

I want to show a triangle strip when user swap finger on screen. I am not sure how to do it with AndEngine, using particle system or using sprites or using Triangle Strip algo...
I haven't wrote any code because I am struck that what to do. I am uploading an image please share your ideas.
Update
someone has done this in Iphone but unfortunately I am unfamiliar with language syntax please help me in understanding algo of this code https://github.com/hiepnd/CCBlade

partial effect achieved.. but problem on fast swiping.. all complete projects are uploaded here http://www.andengine.org/forums/post31772.html#p31772

Here is a solution in LibGDX. It uses GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP.
https://github.com/mattdesl/lwjgl-basics/wiki/LibGDX-Finger-Swipe
The final solution uses two triangle strips and a custom texCoord attribute, allowing for us to use a lookup texture to achieve fake (but efficient) anti-aliasing. A more efficient/flexible anti-aliasing would use shaders and a single triangle strip. Use vertex attribute -1.0 for the top and 1.0 for the bottom edge of your swipe, and 1.0 for the tips. Then in the frag shader, use abs() -- so 0.0 means "center" and 1.0 means "edge."
Something like this:
color.a *= smoothstep(0.0, 2./thickness, 1.0-abs(vTexCoord.t));

JavaFX bind PathTransition's element coordinates

I'd like to have a path transition in such a way, that the path behaves relative to the window size, even when the size is changed during the animation. Furthermore, when the animation is completed, the animated element should use the stay at the relative destination location.
tileWidthProperty and tileHeightProperty are class members that I added for convinience and they simply divide the main pane's size in eights.
This is the code I have:
public void applyMove(final Ellipse toBeMoved, final int startCol, final int startRow, final int endCol, final int endRow)
{
Platform.runLater(() ->
{
final Path path = new Path();
final MoveTo startingPoint = new MoveTo();
final LineTo endPoint = new LineTo();
startingPoint.xProperty().bind(tileWidthProperty.multiply(startCol).add(tileWidthProperty.divide(2)));
startingPoint.yProperty().bind(tileHeightProperty.multiply(startRow).add(tileHeightProperty.divide(2)));
endPoint.xProperty().bind(tileWidthProperty.multiply(endCol).add(tileWidthProperty.divide(2)));
endPoint.yProperty().bind(tileHeightProperty.multiply(endRow).add(tileHeightProperty.divide(2)));
path.getElements().add(startingPoint);
path.getElements().add(endPoint);
toBeMoved.centerXProperty().unbind();
toBeMoved.centerYProperty().unbind();
PathTransition transition = new PathTransition(Duration.millis(10000), path, toBeMoved);
transition.setOrientation(PathTransition.OrientationType.NONE);
transition.setCycleCount(1);
transition.setAutoReverse(false);
//bind the node at the destination.
transition.setOnFinished(event ->
{
toBeMoved.centerXProperty().bind(tileWidthProperty.multiply(endCol).add(tileWidthProperty.divide(2)));
toBeMoved.centerYProperty().bind(tileHeightProperty.multiply(endRow).add(tileHeightProperty.divide(2)));
toBeMoved.setTranslateX(0.0);
toBeMoved.setTranslateY(0.0);
});
transition.play();
});
}
The col and row parameters are integers that are known to be 0 <= x < 8. They are the column and row of the tile position in the 8*8 grid.
The binding of the MoveTo and LineTo elements, however does not seem to have any effect.
First of all, once any standard Animation is started it does not change parameters.
So if anything changes, you have to stop the animation and start it again with new parameters.
I noticed you're trying to bind centerX and centerY after the transition is complete, which is wrong: PathTransition moves elements using translateX and translateY.
And for better debug you can actually add Path to the scene graph to see where your element will go.
Path path = new Path();
parent.getChildren().add(path);
I assume that tileWidthProperty and tileHeightProperty are bound to the actual parent size using something like this:
tileWidthProperty.bind(parent.widthProperty().divide(8));
tileHeightProperty.bind(parent.heightProperty().divide(8));
So I created example just to show how it might look like.

AndEngine : Showing All sprites images same

enter image description hereI have 4 sprites. I am placing all 4 sprites in different place on the mobile screen. But it is taking the last added sprite image that is (sprite4.png) all the sprites images(sprite1.png, sprite2.png, sprite3.png and sprite4.png).
In short its displaying all the sprite images same.

Oh sorry I know what is the problem:

this.spriteTextureRegion3 = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mBitmapTextureAtlas, this, "sprite3.png", 0, 0);
this.spriteTextureRegion4= BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mBitmapTextureAtlas, this, "sprite4.png", 0, 0);
At the end, where you put 0, 0 - you declare where your region should be located on the Texture atlas. Imagine stickers you put on the sheet of paper. You put one, then on this you put another, and third and fourth. This way you can see only the one that is on top. So you have to put your regions in different places of the texture atlas. If all your images are 40x40 it should look like this (also your atlas might be bigger (512x512):
this.mBitmapTextureAtlas = new BitmapTextureAtlas(this.getTextureManager(), 512, 512, TextureOptions.BILINEAR);
this.spriteTextureRegion1 = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mBitmapTextureAtlas, this, "sprite1.png", 0, 0);
this.spriteTextureRegion2 = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mBitmapTextureAtlas, this, "sprite2.png", 50, 0);

What is wrong with this ANDEngine HUD?

I am trying to make a HUD at AndEngine, but when I write this code below and run the emulator, only thing appears on Emulator is a black screen with crashed HUD image.
This is what I want to display,
and This is how my code show.
This is my code -
package com.example.andenginetester;

}
#Override
protected void onCreateResources() {
myAtlas = new BitmapTextureAtlas(this.getTextureManager(), 1024, 1024);
myHUDImage = BitmapTextureAtlasTextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.myAtlas, this, "gfx/HUD.png", 0, 0);
mEngine.getTextureManager().loadTexture(myAtlas);
}
#Override
protected Scene onCreateScene() {
final Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.setBackground(new Background(0, 0, 0));
myHUDSprite = new Sprite(0, 0, myHUDImage, this.getVertexBufferObjectManager());
myHUD.attachChild(myHUDSprite);
camera.setHUD(myHUD);
return scene;
}
}
How I should fix it?
Well, I managed to get the correct result , let me know if it works for you:
a) I updated the AndroidManifest.xml
Added in the <activity ... >:
1) android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|mcc|mnc"
2) android:screenOrientation="landscape"
b) The updated activity:
public class MainActivity extends SimpleBaseGameActivity {
public static final int CAMERA_WIDTH = 720;
public static final int CAMERA_HEIGHT = 480;
private HUD myHUD = new HUD();
private Sprite myHUDSprite;

Move background on button click andengine

I am new in android game development,I have two buttons on screen , one for forward and one for reverse, also one player sprite.I want to move large background on buttons click.
I have idea about auto-parallax background,but how can i move background on buttons click?
please help
I am doing some thing like this, but it is not smooth and also i think this is not a good approach

I've just answered similiar question. Please take a look at stop and start auto parallaxbackground in andengine
There isn't such function provided in andengine so you will need extend or add some features in AutoParallaxBacground class of AndEngine library.
package org.andengine.entity.scene.background;

I haven't tested that solution but it should work as expected. The only thing I am not sure right now is changing incrementation to decrementation enough.

Move a ball with the accelerometer andengine

I had written a code to move a ball with the help of accelerometer andengine, but i get force close.
My problem is the use of PhysicsWorld.
My library is:
andengine.jar
andenginephysicsbox2dextension.jar
my code is:
public class SnakeGameActivity extends BaseGameActivity implements IAccelerometerListener
{
private static final int CAMERA_WIDTH = 480;
private static final int CAMERA_HEIGHT = 320;
private float mGravityX;
private float mGravityY;
private Sprite splash ;
private final Vector2 mTempVector = new Vector2();
protected PhysicsWorld mPhysicsWorld;
private Camera mCamera;
private Texture mTexture;
private TextureRegion mSplashTextureRegion;
#Override
public Engine onLoadEngine() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
this.mCamera = new Camera(0, 0, CAMERA_WIDTH, CAMERA_HEIGHT);
return new Engine(new EngineOptions(true, ScreenOrientation.LANDSCAPE,
new RatioResolutionPolicy(CAMERA_WIDTH, CAMERA_HEIGHT), this.mCamera));
}
#Override
public void onLoadResources() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
this.mTexture = new Texture(512, 512, TextureOptions.BILINEAR_PREMULTIPLYALPHA);
this.enableAccelerometerSensor(this);
this.mSplashTextureRegion = TextureRegionFactory.createFromAsset(this.mTexture, this, "ball_enemy.png", 0, 0);
this.mEngine.registerUpdateHandler(new FPSLogger());
this.mEngine.getTextureManager().loadTexture(this.mTexture);
}
#Override
public Scene onLoadScene() {
this.mEngine.registerUpdateHandler(new FPSLogger());
Scene scene = new Scene(1);
this.mPhysicsWorld = new PhysicsWorld(new Vector2(0, SensorManager.GRAVITY_EARTH), false);
final int centerX = (CAMERA_WIDTH - this.mSplashTextureRegion.getWidth()) / 2;
final int centerY = (CAMERA_HEIGHT - this.mSplashTextureRegion.getHeight()) / 2;
splash = new Sprite(centerX, centerY, this.mSplashTextureRegion);
scene.getLastChild().attachChild(splash);
scene.registerUpdateHandler(this.mPhysicsWorld);
return scene;
}
#Override
public void onLoadComplete() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onAccelerometerChanged(AccelerometerData pAccelerometerData) {
final Vector2 gravity = Vector2Pool.obtain(pAccelerometerData.getX(), pAccelerometerData.getY());
this.mPhysicsWorld.setGravity(gravity);
Vector2Pool.recycle(gravity);
}
}
my log error:
