Cellular HTML5: can "don't rotate" be default for sprites? #61

Cellular HTML5:

Can "don't rotate" be the default for sprites? This sounds trivial, but most of our examples do not use rotation. I keep forgetting to click "don't rotate", so I have to often re-do work. I expect the same for most of our users. cellular_html5_sprite_rotation_choices

What was the default in the desktop app?

@berndmeyer, any thoughts?

mciotola commented 9 years ago

The default was "can rotate", so this would be a change from the desktop version. It works for ants and bacteria, but not so well for bushfires, palm trees, cows, people or viruses (which are smiley faces sometimes with hats).

"Can rotate" is also the default in scribble too, right?

mciotola commented 9 years ago

Yes, although the sprite in Scribble is typically a pen or pencil, rather than, say a cow or person.

It the default stays on "can rotate", it is not a problem, merely a minor annoyance.

I handball that to Mark - you're closer to how the examples work. Happy to go with whatever you see fit!

Matt, do you have any insights on whether the default for sprites being "can rotate" versus don't rotate?
