  + Sprite: Is outside layout

  -> Sprite: Set wrapping to Sprite.wrapping&"tapping"

  + System: Else

  -> Sprite: Set wrapping to Sprite.wrapping&"evermore"

  Only this and nothing more.

  Ehh, the specs say they want a seat at the AAA table.

  We're not on the menu.

  Google just announced it.

  So no, but maybe, would be best guess.

  Have you tried the Poplab demo?

  It's not the same mechanic, but the techniques used to compare tiles are the same.

  Everybody thinks match three is a really simple game, but its not, in fact popular versions are horribly complicated.

  The deal with functions not keeping picks is an engine thing, not a function thing.

  Like suppose you had an event that destroyed the object you just created in the same tick?

  That would be pointless, and hard for the engine to factor in, uid's counts, etc.

  Also this:

  Although I have no idea what this will bring to the subject.

  There's lots of reasons to use it. In fact I use it when I do need to break picking.

  You just have remember all the quirks.

  I think the main reason to use it is because of its ability to pass params, and reduce events.

  The main thing I don't like is events are very linear, and calls can be placed anywhere.

  When objects are created they are picked in that event alone.

  Objects do not exist outside the creation event until the next tick.

  Another reason to not use functions so often.

  It means the next pick at the same level will remove the last from the sol, and then default to the zero index if referenced again.

  Also, functions always break picking. You have to re-pick in the function call using an id in a param.

  Then again Ashley is doing some refactoring on the plug, so that may change soon.

  The next event at the same level, will break picking. Even if the picking event was a sub event, the next sub event at the same level will break picking.

  The only exception is when you create an object. Then both objects are picked.

  Maybe try a different format, and make sure its the proper encoding. Gif having the highest chance to work.
