iphone finger pencil path

Hi, I am trying to see if this is possible. I want to create a game that allows the user to draw on a virtual board. while they draw, it leaves the users mark. for example, I want the user to be able to draw a star in the game. the star then becomes an object. is this possible?

You could try using particles with a very long lifetime and constrain an actor to the players finger. But it would have no interaction in the game.

Another possibility is to stretch an actor using a start point and an end point.

You could use a similar technique to what tshirtbooth suggested but only use 5 points and then stretch an actor between the two nearest points to the players finger to make a line.

@resident: what you are describing is not possible yet in GameSalad.

You need to have all of your Actors prebuilt. You cannot dynamically generate them like that.

Sorry, I missed a crucial part of the question.
