Question

I want to create a tiled sprite which when pressed it changes it’s tile number, makes a sound and disables the button for touch for 10 seconds.
Should I use the java thread class for this or does andengine has something more handy I can use instead?

Thanks.

Answer 1

AndEngine has a Delay Modifier that could be used in combination with a ModifierListener to achieve that purpose … something like

new DelayModifier(10, new IEntityModifierListener() {
    @Override
    public void onModifierStarted(IModifier<IEntity> pModifier, IEntity pItem) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @Override
    public void onModifierFinished(IModifier<IEntity> pModifier, IEntity pItem) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }
});

where the “10” is the time in seconds – then use the onModifierFinished method to re-enable your tile.
