  A simple way to make a character "squish" when landing is the following:

  On Landed:

  Player - set height to self.height*0.8

  Player - set width to self.width*1.2

  System - wait 0.1 seconds

  Player - set height to self.height/0.8

  Player - set width to self.width/1.2

  Basically, this will "compress" the sprite, making it look wider and shorter for a moment, then quickly go back to normal.

  I'm not sure what sort of visual effect to expect from a squishy character jumping or walking around, though - if you have something in mind, let me know and I'll see if I can help. Good luck!

  You can apply lerp to that too, to smooth it out.

  Something like:

  static x = 0;
  static landing=0;
  Every tick:
  Player set height lerp(0.8,1.2,x)
  Player set width lerp(0.8,1.2,1-x)
  if x >= 0 && landing==1: subtract dt from x
  if x <= 1 && landing==0: add dt to x[/code:vlrkzzn5]

  You need to move your teleport point in far enough that the map edges don't end. Then teleport the player.

  You should be able to use LayerScale or LayoutScale to zoom in.

  Something like:

  That's not game design, it's UX. They're closely related, though, but completely different "ends". If you're not modifying any game systems, it's _not_ game design.

  Yea, I was hoping for something else too clicking on this, lol.

  I can. Most of the work is on the server, so this will be of limited use.

  So here you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-xiq ... 01uMTdoY0k

  Sorry, I was under the impression that you had some knowledge of database operation.

  Okay, you see in this image:

  

  towards the bottom where he has the parameter $sql="SELECT * FROM scores ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 10"

  You simply need to remove the "LIMIT 10" and it will return all of the scores in the database ordered by score descending.

  That is what that select statement is asking for:

  SELECT (tells the database to get data)

  * (tells it to return all data)

  FROM scores (from the "scores" table)

  ORDER BY score (order the data lexicographically by score)

  DESC (in a descending order from highest to lowest)

  LIMIT 10 (only return the top 10 scores)

  How can I turn it to use 3 columns instead of 3.

  Also this question makes no sense.

  You want to use a TextBox for them to enter a block of text and then submit it to a server via HTTP POST. Then you can have PHP (or Python or whatever your server programming language is) turn this into a file on your server.

  Arrays and dictionaries are data formats for storing information in RAM. You can translate those RAM entries to JSON strings in the LocalStorage or you can pass them back to a server for storage in a database, etc.

  I use TextBox objects, then just copy and paste.

  Make sure you are using the JDK not the JRE Java. They are different.

  You create a button that says share and has a UI that has icons for each major social media app. Then you have to use each social media application's Application Program Interface to post specifics to each one.

  It looks like you POST to the "https://upload.twitter.com/1.1/media/upload.json" URL to upload images with the image as either binary or base64 encoded in the media or media_data parameter.

  Check out rexrainbow 's SquareTx plugin. It has an isometric mode that works well for small (less then 1,000 x 1,000) grids.

  You should be able to have the MySQL engine sort the results of a SELECT script.
