You can change the sprite's rotation to positive or negative degrees.

sprite->setRotation(30.0f);

You can get the rotation value using getRotation method.

float rotation = sprite->getRotation();

The positive value rotates it clockwise, and the negative value rotates it counter clockwise. The default value is zero. The preceding code rotates the sprite 30 degrees clockwise, as shown in the following screenshot:

You can change the sprite's scale. The default value is 1.0f, the original size. The following code will scale to half size.

sprite->setScale(0.5f);

You can also change the width and height separately. The following code will scale to half the width only.

sprite->setScaleX(0.5f);

The following will scale to half the height only.

sprite->setScaleY(0.5f);

The following code will scale that width to double and the height to half.

sprite->setScale(2.0f, 0.5f);

You can change the sprite's skew, either by X, Y or uniformly for both X and Y. The default value is zero for both X and Y.

The following code adjusts the X skew by 20.0:

sprite->setSkewX(20.0f);

The following code adjusts the Y skew by 20.0:

sprite->setSkewY(20.0f);

You can change the sprite's color by passing in a Color3B object. Color3B has an RGB value.

sprite->setColor(Color3b(255, 0, 0));

You can change the sprite's opacity. The opacity property is set between a value from 0 to 255.

sprite->setOpacity(100);

The sprite is fully opaque when it is set to 255, and fully transparent when it is set to zero. The default value is always 255.

You can change the sprite's visibility by passing in a Boolean value. If it is false, then the sprite is invisible; if it is true, then the sprite is visible. The default value is always true.

sprite->setVisible(false);

if (sprite->isVisible()) {
    // visible
} else {
    // invisible
}
