iphone - how can I use animation in cocos2d?

Question

I am trying to develop a Roulette game for iPhone. How can I animation (spin) the Roulette board?

Answer 1

It's quite simple in Cocos2D:

[sprite runAction:[RotateBy actionWithDuration:dur angle:360]];

to make one turn or

id action = [RepeatForever actionWithAction: [RotateBy actionWithDuration:dur angle:360]];
[sprite runAction:action];

and

[sprite stopAction:action];

if you need to rotate continuously.

Don't forget to make sure that sprite transformAnchor is set to center of the image. And I guess next question should arise - how to make it stop smoothly ;)
