   I'm very new to coding on iPhone. I chose to work with sparrow because I've been reading that it has an intuitive workflow thats helpful for beginners.

   So, my current question is, What is the best way to have an image move with a framerate?

   I want to make stars descend on a screen.

   I've been reading about tweening and sprites. Could someone help me with a bit of sample code to make stars (a png image) simply descend on screen.

   Thank you so much!

   (I'm happy to even have pngs currently displaying on the simulator screen.. that's how beginner I am)

   Hi mckkyl,

   first of all: welcome to the Sparrow forum! I'm happy to hear that you are using Sparrow to get started in game programming

   There's a great tutorial available that covers basic animation, and how to put it together to a game. In case you haven't see it, I can warmly recommend giving it a try:

   The maniacdev.com tutorial is wonderful. After working through that and the following blog posts, I was able to have a lot of fun using Sparrow:

   If you want your star background to scroll repeatedly, check out my BEParallaxSprite class.
