Somebody out there on a game specific programming forum should be able to answer this.
Google tells me Space Invaders came out in 1978, which means there are probably many many people who have done this over the years. While off the top of my head, I can think of a handful (and probably a bit hacky) ways of doing this, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fairly quick and simple method of accomplishing this.
As you are using Cocos2d, probably the easiest way in my brain would be to just detect where your "bullet" sprite hits your barrier sprite. Then, using the bitmasking mentioned above, you would replace the collided/destroyed piece of your barrier with the background.
Edit:
Found something that outlines this:

I'm looking at picking up a Mini Display to HDMI cable from monoprice.com. I want to make sure it'll do what I want and think I found the answer but I'm curious if anybody can confirm. Will it carry sound and video from my computer to TV?

Most wallpaper sites will have 1680x1050 as an option, as most current 17 inch monitors use that resolution. InterfaceLIFT (http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/) is a site I usually go to. You could try HDWallpapers (http://www.hdwallpapers.net) too. ;)

They really need to make a movie about this dude and his life. Him and another dude named clayton fountain were a deaely pair in the most secure prison of the country in the 80s. They killed two guards on the same day in the same prison, and cluts stabbed two others (one killed and one ran off and one permsnently injured) and boasted he only did it because silverstein inspired him and he didnt want silverstein to be ahead in dead bodies.

"Clayton Anthony Fountain (1955 -- 2004) was born into a military family at Fort Benning, GA. As a young man he himself entered the armed services. While stationed in the Philippines in the 1970�s Clayton murdered his immediate military superior, for which he was incarcerated and consigned to the Federal Penitentiary at Marion, IL. While at Marion, Clayton murdered three prisoners and one guard. These acts merited Clayton's designation as �Most Dangerous Prisoner� in the federal system.
"One of these officers was injured and the other, Officer Hoffman, was killed attempting to protect his fallen comrade. Following this unprovoked, brutal stabbing, inmate Fountain waved his arms in a victory expression as he walked down the cell ranges in front of other inmates. This inmate was serving a life sentence for the murder of a staff sergeant while in the United States Marines. He had repeatedly engaged in extremely violent acts, including the murders of inmates in 1979, 1981, and 1982. He was serving three life sentences at the time he murdered Officer Hoffman......"
"After Silverstein was charged with murdering another inmate, he boasted in court, "I have walked over dead bodies. I've had guts splattered all over my chest from race wars."
"A few hours later, Clayton Fountain, Silverstein's close friend, was being led through the prison when he paused by another inmate's cell. In an instant, he, too, was free. "You *beep* want a piece of this?" he yelled, waving a blade. He stabbed three more guards. One died in the arms of his son, who also worked in the prison. Fountain reportedly said that he didn't want Silverstein to have a higher body count.
It was the first time in the history of American federal prisons that two guards had been killed on the same day. "You got to understand," Thompson said. "Here were guys in restraints, locked in the Hole in the most secure prison, and they were still able to get to the guards. It sent a simple message: We can get to you anywhere, anytime.""

Well, I only have like $40 in my bank account right now, which isn't too good, ESPECIALLY with christmas. So what does one do when one runs low on cash? Why sells his earthly posessions of course! I have a couple macs I MIGHT be willing to part with. I'm not sure on either of them yet but they are both possibilities.
First up is my PowerMac G4 Sawtooth:
400mhz G4 Processor
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB AGP GFX Card
80GB HDD
DVD-ROM and ZIP drives
This is a frickin great machine. It's currently sitting at home in my desk waiting to be used and I can hear it crying because I'm thinking of selling it.
http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/834/setup61hi.th.jpg (http://img345.imageshack.us/my.php?image=setup61hi.jpg)
Second up, my dearly loved Powerbook G3 Wallstreet.
266mhz G3 Processor
128MB RAM
10GB HDD
4MB Shared Video RAM
2 PC Card slots
14" TFT Screen
CD-ROM Drive
This also, an EXCELLENT backup laptop. It's currently loaded with OS 9.2. I was originally planning to upgrade this puppy BIG TIME but I've run into cash problems. Only problem with this laptop is that the battery is dead.
http://img319.imageshack.us/img319/8726/wallstreet10yi.th.jpg (http://img319.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wallstreet10yi.jpg)
Let me know if you're interested at all and maybe make me an offer? I'm not sure if I want to sell these but all signs are pointing to yes.

I had this when i got an imac a few weeks back... it's your desk. seriously!
Have a look at my previous threads and you'll find the details of the post and how i fixed it.
edit...... => this post... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1137139&highlight=
Picked up a new 2011 iMac today and had the same thing, isolate the imac from the desk and it will go.
I had 2x 21,5" on the same desk, at the same spot and none of them made the noise. Just this one, the 3rd 21,5"
Edit: the first 2 imacs were the low 21,5". The 3rd is the high end 21,5". The hdd is different on my 3rd imac(1TB)
I read the thread you linked and i agree that it must be something related with the hdd

I just started to back up when I installed lion
A backup of what exactly?...
Why not use Finder to just backup all your files and folders you are interested in, then reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and then get back the files and folders you were interested in from the backup you made before you reinstalled Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?

hi,
wondering if anyone other than me has specific reasons for folding. have not seen a thread or discussion, so thought i would ask. my reason is my sister that i lost to cancer, hence my id; 4 Joan N. A. i couldn't stand to do nothing, and this seemed like a wonderful way to do something and put lots of old hardware back to work at the same time.
hope i didn't ask a wrong question. just curious.

I have a weebee and i have a few problems with it.
#1 don't like how loud the velcro is.
#2 when there's no laptop in the bag, it's really uncomfortable to wear. has to have adequate weight in it to be comfortab.e
#3 There's something about the little handle on the bag that makes it awkward to carry that way.
It's really expensive but that's pretty much with any laptop bag that you buy (well except for the really ugly targus ones)

No.
I suppose if you buy a lot of PSN games the huge console price increase from US to UK doesn't seem as bad.
How is the Lemmings game?
Its a great version of lemmings in fairness and works very well. And at �3.50 you cant really complain about faults etc.
PSN pricing puts VC prices to shame.

the first versions will have tons of bugs, dont u want a stable OS when u first get your iMac? thought so. :)
Lion will come with a ton of bugs just like leopard and snow leopard did, sure apple will fix most bugs in time usually in the first 2 weeks of release but still. it'll be a buggy experience at first.

Somewhere in 2009/2010, I can't really remember now I bought the 21inch iMac. It was working perfectly fine up until January 2011 where it started lagging, it became very slow and eventually it kept freezing...
It is now completely unworkable, it originally has the Mac OSX Leopard system and I cannot at all use it. When it is powered on it stays on the apple screen for like 10+/- minutes. After a while the background shows up but nothing on screen and it sits there frozen. When the power button is pressed once, the screen turns off, when the power button is pressed again, screen comes back on with everything already loaded, you can see the dock, and startup programs but everything is completely frozen, I can move the mouse but apart from that it's all dead (even the keyboard). After like 10/20 +- minutes it unfreezes and the computer is usable... the problem is that it keeps freezing every now and then...
While it unfroze, I managed to use a tool called Yasu to clean it up, I also checked the hard drive (1TB one) and everything was said to be in normal conditon.
Rebooted the mac, and the same thing happens all over again...
I tried running the install disc that originally came with the iMac but it does not want to boot. I tried booting in safe mode, it takes ages to boot up and when it does, it freezes on the login screen. I used the applications CD where you have to hold D, this booted up, I checked the system and everything was completely fine.
I then tried booting up (holding C) from a Windows Live CD, and it booted up perfectly fine, did a disk check, all was stated as working.
I then tried booting from the install disc and it just won't boot. It freezes up and I have to wait like 10 to 20 minutes to take out the CD because it won't come out.
Before I take it to Apple (#!��$"�# piece of crap) I would like to see if there's anything else I can do?
Since other CD's are booting up perfectly fine, I was thinking of installing Ubuntu Linux and maybe then trying to reinstall Mac OSX using the original CD?
Any help? Please!!!!!!!!!!!! and thank you in advance.
