Is there a way to set the origin of a node so that future translations move the node based on it's new origin.

Here is an example drawing:

You're talking about graphical implementations of a node right? Really sounds like you could use a tile map

It's a JavaFX question. Not sure what a tile map is

Imagine a cartesian plane with images that can move across the plane. That's all a tile map is. Works wonders on a 2d game

#

the best way to make a 2d game actually

the solution was quiet simple. I have to use .setTranslateX and .setTranslateY to change the position of the origin. facepalm

ah this is from your code from earlier

#

yeah you could just move them with x and y instance variables

#

but if you are making a game, look into tile maps, will save you a lot of pain

hm don't think those are in JavaFX. then again I wouldn't expect it to because it's not really a game library

#

anyways thanks for the information, I'll keep that in mind.
