Method Details

scaleToFit

public static Scene scaleToFit(Sprite sprite)

Changes a sprite's scale so that it fits the canvas. This method uses uniform scaling, i.e. the sprite's original aspect ratio will be retained.

This method returns a Scene that should be registered as a sub-scene. This is because the sprite needs to be rescaled every frame, as the sprite's graphics might change over time.

appearText

public static Scene appearText(Text text,
 float duration)

Makes text slowly appear over time, with more and more characters appearing on screen over time until the entire text is shown.

spin

public static Scene spin(Sprite graphic,
 float duration)

Makes graphics rotate 360 degrees within the specified duration, with a shorter duration meaning a faster rotation speed.
