Question

I want to show an effect of falling blocks which settle down at pre-determined position after some falling animation.
Can this be done without using physics engine?

Answer 1

I found a better and easier way to do this in cocos2d by using CCJumpTo action

CCActionInterval *jump1 = [CCJumpTo actionWithDuration:3 position:sp.position height:150 jumps:2];
sp.position = ccp(10,100);
[sp runAction:jump1];

Where sp is the CCSprite for the block.
