Question

I am new to android game development using andengine.

I am developing a game in which I have to use many different coloured balls.

What i want for improving the game performance is,that i should write random numbers on different balls programmatically?

Is it possible in andengine to add balls as an image and put numbers on top of it programmatically?

Answer 1

There is a class in AndEngine called Text

Text objects act like entities and can be attached to a scene or another entity as a child

First you have to create a Font

Font mFont = FontFactory.create(this.getFontManager(), this.getTextureManager(), 256, 256, Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD), 32);
mFont.load();

Now create an object of text and add the text to the ball entity

Text text = new Text(0,0, font,"1");
ball.attachChild(text);
