Recursive sprite counting

totebo

How would I print the total Sprite child count of a sprite, including nested children?

Hi, Can you try this?

function Sprite.getCascadeChildrenCount(self)   local count = 0   for i=1,self:getNumChildren() do count = count + self:getChildAt(i):getCascadeChildrenCount() + 1 end   return count;   end   print(sprite:getCascadeChildrenCount())

The problem are the nested ones, maybe you could try to merge print_r with this:

Or modify print_r to keep a counter when getBaseClass returns Sprite

[Edit: mertocan was faster! ]

That looks awesome, thanks!
