Changing the sprite.color will tint the image, but of course it tints the entire image. If your pieces are basically one color (like red piece, blue piece, etc) then if you make your source image greyscale or simply black, white, and transparent, then you can get nice different colored sprites (and greyscale) simply by manipulating the sprite.color.
Also in the line of what Alex suggested, you can have a 'hilite' overlay sprite for the piece which you render on top of the sprite to indicate selection. This could simply be a transparent outline, and again, you could render it in various tints. And, if you want to modify the color of a piece without modifying certain parts of it, you could use a pair of sprites per piece - one containing the non-tinted overlay, and one containing the parts you wish to vary the tint. -price On Sep 5, 8:05 pm, "Alex Holkner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 9/6/08, dexters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Hello, > > > does one of you know if it is possible to change the Hue/Color of a > > loaded image?
