Reset game to initial state?

When player dies I want to reset the game.

I do this: reset variables, reset persisted objects.

But immediately after that the game is janky: random layers are visible or invisible, and not according to their initial settings. This makes me wonder what else is not being reset.

What other actions can I do to ensure everything in the game is back to it's original state?

You need to also restart layout. However, if you have any global objects (like arrays, dictionaries etc.), they will not be reset. Also, static local variables will not be reset. You'll have to clear/reset them one by one with events.

Thanks.

I don't think Groups (disabled/enabled) or Layers (Visibility) are reset either, so others might need to come that in mind when fiddling with those things too.

If anyone is able, please upvote my idea to add a "reset game" action!
