  Without more information the most general thing would be to suggest noise from the Advanced Random plug.

  Tilemap image data is the tilemap image.

  You have to change the json if you change the texture size.

  That's all there is to it.

  You would essentially create a third party editor when you set the state of the tilemap, use the Browser plug to download the json either Tilemap.TilesJSON, or Tilemap.AsJSON I'm not sure, then import that file into project files for use with Ajax during runtime when you set the texture.

  The json should have all the data you need to completely change an existing tilemap, aside from the image data.

  I would say you probably need to take a look at using the json save state, and using it if you need to import stuff besides the texture.

  Nope.

  Dt is mostly used for making sure you gat speeds consistent with your frame rate.

  You have no speed component in what you are doing.

  You can use the move at angle action, or just set the x and y.

  The simplest method using xy, would be lerp(self.x,target.x,movespeed*dt) and lerp(self.y,target.y,movespeed*dt)

  I'd rather spend a little more and get a Switch.

  Or spend a lot more and get a Steam Deck and do a Constructception.

  Since you can get the distance traveled you can use the final value to say who's first by subtracting the distance traveled from the total distance.

  Unless there's a possibility for objects to go way off course.

  Just don't use the Scirra arcade.

  There's literally thousands of places to put you game on the net.

  If you need to show it without making it public you can use the remote preview.

  Of course that requires a paid plan.

  Then again its best to think of the free version as just a way to try it out.

  Making a hierarchy in editor doesn't work?

  Even if that doesn't you could loop through image points if you used an index, then attach them as children.

  You can experiment till you get it like you want in a dummy layout.

  Its for object control.

  You can not edit an object unless its on a layout.

  The dummy layouts are for when you need to edit objects, but not have then on a running layout.

  Otherwise you would need to destroy the objects that you don't need on the start of the layout.
