You can use thin rectangles linked with joints to create rope segments. The longer the rectangles, the less accurate the rope becomes.



See how the lines make the rope, you can do this with rectangular sprites.

won't the corners of the rectangle look very unclean when the rope rotates at wide angles?

Use curved edge sprites and overlap the edges?

Kinda like these.....



Imagine using sprites to create a chain, with a rope texture.

You could even have fully curved images set up for a multitude of angles and use the one closest to the angle between the current sprite and it's two neighbours...

I'm sure that's possible, just not sure how quick it would be as close as you'd get to a realistic rope I think. Damn, might have to try that idea out, sounds cool.

Depending on your device resolution I imagine even sharp corners would probably look fine on a phone. PC or Tablet, maybe not.
