  How are you currently making the eyes follow the cursor?

  You could have an invisible sprite that acts as the camera, set scrollTo to it. Then based on comparisons (like distance of the two characters) have the camera do something, like zoom out.

  Well, there is tiled background, if you image can be tiled.

  Otherwise, it's just a sprite. Usually people put it on it's own layer and call it background.

  A few options. Comparing it's x/y or again, creating invisible sprites to act as borders.

  The sprite editor, click on the animation and then in the properties pain, set the loop to yes.

  I did this once by creating an invisible sprite, placing it where you want the center of your screen and giving it the scrollTo behavior.

  Obviously this method will not work if you are NOT using scrollTO on another object.

  Yeah, because that is the end of your layout. What do you want to happen?

  The dotted line indicates your Window size. That is what is viewable to the player. The solid line is your layout size, the actual size of your layout.

  If you want the Window to follow your player as they move around the layout, add the ScrollTo behavior to the player.

  It's something I struggled with at first as well.

  Did you read the section in the manual about how Events work? That might be the best place to start.

  I'm not exactly sure what you are asking in your example, can you be a little more clear there? What part of the snake clone are you not getting in terms of the UI?

  Several ways using expressions.

  say your variable is HP and it's equal to 10.2343234

  When you want to do something with it say Floor(HP) and it will equal 10.

  You can also use Ceil or Round

  You need to use a wrapper to do this. Phonegap is the most popular, but is only good for basic games.
