Maximizing this revenue stream requires the game to retain players over long periods of time.

@kylins Hello, The object attached to the rigid body seems to go off when the game is being resized. This problem appears to affect only when the root node (canvas) has a widget component attached to it. As suggested by @pandamicro, rigid bodies should be used only on nodes with RenderRoot2D as the root node. Canvas comes with a Widget Class hence will lead to issues with rigid body when resized.

Hello all, I am trying to change the vertices(vertex, index, position, uv) for the sprite in code at runtime. In CC2.4 I was able to change the vertices of the sprite frame by assigning the values to sprite.spriteframe.vertices and setting sprite.setVertsDirty(), but in CC3.6 It doesn’t seem to work even though I updated the format of new vertices. Any suggestion for best way to achieve this in CC3.6 would be appreciated.
