I figured it was something like that. Makes sense that you'd chunk the screen into smaller sections for the black bits and then use a transparent view for visible section around the ego. It still floors me when I see games that make use of negative space like this. Very nice.

I guess in the end, the best piece of code, or at least understanding to take from this is that a view doesn't have to be an actor to get moved around the screen. As long as the Prop is init() and not addToPic() it is free to be moved via it's x and y properties.

At least I think that is the most relevant piece of information to be gleaned from this for any newcomer.

It's been a couple years and Halloween is coming up quick... anyone think it's about time for another one of these or are we all content working on our current projects for now and not really interested in committing a month to something else?
