Good ‘shake screen’ function ideas

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone has a good ‘screen shake’ code snippet/idea they might want to share.

Currently I’m using a basic effect using a tween and a bounce easing setting, but it doesn’t look as good it should.

Also, any ideas on a good way to shake a sprite. I’ve tried doing this but the code gets pretty long.

Thanks in advance!

Really depends on what kind of look are you trying to get.

I would just put everything on a container and then randomly set it's position for certain amount of time. Then just fine-tune how much you move the container and how often to get the right look. Works exactly same for sprites.

@enpu - I’ll try something like that for the ‘shake screen’

For the sprite shake, would a container shake also work if the sprite is being tweeted? Just trying to keep the code consise and easy to read.

Depends on what you are tweening. If your tween is changing sprite's position and you try to also change the position with shake function, then of course you will run into problems.

Remember that container and sprite are almost same thing (Sprite extends from Container), except that sprite just does have texture that gets rendered.

@enpu - yeah that’s what I was worried about. I must think of a good way to do this

Thanks!
