Hello friends,
I am working on a game which has a requirement of having variable transparency, that means - at some point it will be transparent, and opaque at other points. I am doing it with Quartz 2D, with masking, blending and all.......... but it is making the performance too slow. Can you please tell me if there is any possibility in cocos2D to do it, while not affecting the performance ?????
It is urgent......
Thanks

cocos2d-iphone handles the translucency of individual sprites very easily and runs very quickly bc it hands the rendering off to opengl to do the heavy lifting. Its a little trickier to make whole layers translucent - but you can do it pretty easily. Without knowing more about your game I cant fully recommend switching or not. My suggestion is download the latest version, take one of the demos, make all the sprites translucent, and see if thats fast enough and looks good enough for your needs.

yeah - it always is.
