  Nice one!
  Thanks a lot for the code example btw! It helped me a lot!
  
  Original 'Rocky Climb' is a perfect example of clickbait, using celebrity-like image
  I wouldn't even visit game's page if I wasn't curious about Silvester Stallone, wtf is he even doing there

  @Apollo14 I agree, it's totally celeb click-bait stuff. From the characters physical build, to the Rambo style headband, and the Eye of the Tiger themed music.. it's total celeb stuff
  
  I look forward to seeing what you come up with along these lines too man

  an interesting game
  
  
  several wishes:
  1/color make HSV instead of RGB
  2/make animation of hands
  3.make the sky on the game icon transparent

  @Oleg thanks. HSV would be better I agree. I can manage all of the code for the sliders but the actual rendering of the character would be problematic as it is not just a simple matter of using setColorTransform() which I currently use. Something to think about.
  
  I'll experiment with the icon but I do like the current one

  @oleg, thanks for the link. The thing I can't figure out (currently) is how to actually compose the resulting image from body parts.

  throwing all parts of the body into sprite and everything

  @oleg currently all body parts are separate png files that are contained in a TexturePack. I use a RenderTarget and draw the parts at the correct x,y positions in the RenderTarget to compose the character. This RenderTarget is then used as the texture for the players Bitmap.
  
  So I think all I would need to do is get the HSV value.. convert that to RBG and then use those values to call setColorTransform() on each part before it is drawn to the RenderTarget.
  
  I might give that a try tomorrow. Of more concern to me currently is the bug in Admob SDK that can cause a crash on application resume from rewarded video advert (which has no solution until google release the fix, and I suppose in turn somebody here manages to make a new plugin that includes the fix)

  No. Just have one sprite eg:
  
  climber=Sprite.new()
  
  then add a head:
  
  head=Bitmap.new(headTexture)
  head:setAnchorPoint(0.5,0.5) -- or whatever!
  head:setPosition(0,-100) -- set position relative to climber x,y
  climer:addChild(head)
  
  and so on... until the body has been made.
  
  Then you can swap out textures using head:setTextureRegion(newTexture)
  
  etc...
  
  Then just add climber to your scene and it will display the whole person - you can animate bits, rotate them relative to climber, etc...
  
  No need to use RenderTarget at all.

  @SinisterSoft + An anchor point of an arm can be made on the shoulder and rotate the free hand with the help of a sine wave.
  --enterframe
  hand:setRotation(bazeangle+amplituda*math.sin(e.time*speed))
  
  If the hand holds the stone, turn off the wave

  Yes, the anchorpoint doesn't need to be 0.5,0.5, like you said you can use setAnchorPosition to set it anywhere.

  I just thought it would be more efficient to use a RenderTarget which is used for the texture for a single Bitmap object, rather than have 8 Bitmaps hanging off a Sprite. And since the character has no animation there is no need for more than one texture I think.

  It is more efficient, but not as flexible or dynamic.

  @oleg, there is no problem, it's completely manageable
  
  @SinishterSoft, it doesn't need to be flexible or dynamic for this game

  @antix, but it would look better if his legs had a delayed swing or something, his head wobbled, etc...

  @SinisterSoft, it probably would look better but the intention was never to animate the character. It's worth some thought though

  I'm with you @antix, it depends on what you plan to do. Go simple!
