The sun element (in platform activities) is a useful little tool. It can be used to initiate other actions during an activity (see previous posts in this section) but can also do lots more...
- If you make the sun element transparent, you can cause it to create a sound effect / background music when a character passes over it.
- You can use it to create items that move across (or up or down) the screen that won't interfere with the activity but add to the experience. For example, in an underwater activity create bubbles that rise, or create clouds that drift across the sky.
- The sun element can also be used to create "special" platforms that are really gaps. Simple copy the image used for the platform in an activity and paste it into a sun element. When placed next to a normal platform a character will walk along then fall through - providing hidden entrances to sections.
