There seems to be a good link here but its for cocos2d no x.

You should be able to easily modify this for Cocos2d-x

We know of a library to support Swipe but that’s swipe in general.

The problem with above its in 2d format not x also using a lot of depreciated terms. Is there anyway to create an angle based on touch movements. For example on touchbegan get x and y positions then on touchmoved x & y and then differenciate between the two points to set an angle of the sprite force?

Sort of like Angry Bird?

Kind off but you can flick anywhere on screen (not pulling back) just swipe direction mainly want it to go. Seems like you can set an angle for sprite>?

Angle? What method are you taling about?

What is the method to setting an angle on a sprite? Its setting it based on touch to apply a force lets say you swipe left, right, up or down it then moves the sprites force in that direction (or whatever angle you swipe).

Do you have a method that you know of or are you asking if there is one?

I am asking if there is one. Then set based on swipe with a force. Which would be better force or velocity?

This maybe a good start for you:
