Question

I have added sprites to my NSMutable Array now I’d like to get to them; I’m using these methods:

- (void)selectSpriteForTouch:(CGPoint)touchLocation {
       for (CCSprite *sprite in selectedSpritesArray) {
           if (CGRectContainsPoint(sprite.boundingBox, touchLocation)) {            
               newSprite = sprite;
               break;
           }
       }
}

- (BOOL)ccTouchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {    
    CGPoint touchLocation = [self convertTouchToNodeSpace:touch];
    [self selectSpriteForTouch:touchLocation];      
    return TRUE;    
}

How do I have to do it correctly? Right now I’m not able to acces some sprites that are overlapped.

Thanks!

Suggestion if you want to access overlapped sprites:

- (NSMutableArray*)selectSpriteForTouch:(CGPoint)touchLocation {
       NSMutableArray *sprites = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
       for (CCSprite *sprite in selectedSpritesArray) {
           if (CGRectContainsPoint(sprite.boundingBox, touchLocation)) {            
               [sprites addObject:sprite];
           }
       }

       // dont forget to release this array when you are done with it
       return sprites;
}
