--Hephaestus Pong like example

pongScene = scene:new() --Create a new scene

paddle = sprite:new("textures/paddle.png") --load a sprite, the paddle
paddle:reParentTo(pongScene) --The root node in the scene graph will
                            --be the pongScene

paddle:setScale(1.0, 1.0) --Set the scale of the sprite, completely optional
paddle:setPosition(10, 10) --Offset by it's parent.  (x, y) coords


position = 10 --Remember, this is global without the "local" keyword
function movePaddle()
    paddle:setPosition(paddle:currentX() + position, paddle:currentY())
    position = position + 1
end

pongScene:addTask("movePaddle")  --Add's a task to the pongScene's task
                                --queue.  Every iteration of the scene
                                --every task in the queue will be called once
                                --per frame or at specific intervals

game:pushScene(pongScene) --Game is the global game engine.  This pushes the
                        --game state "pongScene" onto the game state machine's
                        --stack.  We might want to make this an iterated queue
                        --at some point if we need multiple states to run
                        --concurrently.  Something to think about.
