Mask sprite under background

I'm study how to mask (hide) Kid when pass behind a pillar or climb from under the floor, i have see some documentation about "Alpha Mapping and pixel shader" bur its a little complicated for me now.

I have adopt another "simple" solution, draw the mask in front of the background after draw sprites, is simple but not elegant.

DRAW ORDER

-> background animation

-> sprites

-> foreground mask

Life and Energy

I spent a few days to implement PoP.net on Android, but I think there are some problems related to some bug and my little knowledge of the system.

Now I have stopped the Android porting. 

(the Xamarin is very slow debug! i will wait the next release ...)

I went back to develop the Windows version, i have Implemented the death and LifePoints energy, now Kid can die and resort in the "Starting" point with full (default) life energy.

I must develop the "falling life point decrease routine" , for now i have refreshed the compiled downloadable version from codeplex.
