A Kinda Working Line Drawing System

Please Comment if you like it or think it's cool;) I will be making a video tutorial for this to show you how I did this.

Ok, you've got my attention. No project to download? I'd like to see how it's done. Hopefully it's not a million Actors spawning...

Looks like its spawning actors every (iffy) second when mouse down...
x.x
Bad idea if so..
Else neat.

the only problem with spawning that many actors, is on earlier devices after about 1 inch, they will get completely unresponsive.... at least with version .7 and prior, I havn't tested on a .8 version. I ran into a big problem with one of my games a few weeks ago because I was spawning too much.

I tested it on my 3GS and with the .82 software and I drew all over it and it didn't even crash or slow down:)

Spawning works a ton better with the new update i've noticed. I still prespawn some things into scenes, but if I have an actor with just a few rules I don't even bother prespawning.
