How would you guys draw a multi directional swipe with IOSimpact, i was drawing a path on web but ios doesn't support it :-/

i was thinking of using sprites at 16 angles and joining them up but its not going to look very "smooth" any suggestions appreciated.

Also, none of my images are being drawn (on irc someone said this is a bug in latest version) is this a bug or something im doing wrong?

Background images are coming out black and entities are just white squares?
