  I can reproduce this every time at the moment. Name in the Textures folder is always *.png.rename.

  array-sample

  I know there's a lot here, but try to draw it out on some graph paper, if you have some. X along the top, Y down the side, and walk through the algorithm.

  bbox-sample.capx

  This prints each tile's BBox coordinates. As you can see, adjacent tiles share the same value for the Right of the one tile, and the Left of the adjacent tile.

  By scanning all of the tiles, you can detect which share a 'wall', let's call it, and are therefore adjacent.

  If this is still too much, you may want to give arrays another try. <img src="smileys/smiley29.gif" border="0" align="middle"> There are several tutorials on arrays on the site.

  Here just a quicky showing the bounding box expressions.

  bbox-print.capx

  The Top and Bottom values are the same, and the Right value = Left value of the adjacent tile. (You may want a buffer of a pixel or two when calculating).

  The algorithm is simply, pick the tile to compare, and cycle through every other tile to see if it's Top and Right equal the Top and Left of the other tile. If so, they are adjacent (on the right). You can do the opposite to check the left-side.

  You can go old-school and check the bounding-box values.

  Try pinning a physics object to your bullet. Still may not be exactly what you want.

  You can use bullet. Store the starting position and stop it when it is 150 pixels less. Or, you can even set up a negative acceleration, and it will stop itself.

  Yes, your understanding is correct.

  Hmm. Apparently not, but I would consider this a possible bug. You can select more than one, but only the last in the list moves. I see no reason why this couldn't be implemented.

  It depends on how you want it to interact with the other objects. Pinning a physics object to a bullet will give it the ability to affect physics objects. Also, the catapult example is a type of bullet; just get rid of the catapult mechanism. You'll have to experiment with settings for angle/rotation.

  You aren't picking your new bullet on the Release. Here:
