  There is no zoom like you can do in a web page. All the Browser plug will let you do is go full screen.

  You would scale the layout, or layers.

  Don't give anything to anybody you don't know.

  Use the store for updates, and fixes.

  What's interesting is that even now that we don't have to worry about having an instance on a layout somewhere, we still have to have an instance on a layout somewhere... in order to edit its properties.

  There's probably a dozen different ways. Is overlapping at offset being the quickest/dirtiest.

  You can use "pick by point". Its a bit weird as far as setting up goes but it works.

  I asked, recently about a z for the mesh object, which would make considerably more sense than just a box, and a triangle. The answer was that he had no plans to make a depth buffer.

  Unless this April Fools joke turns in to a Easter miracle.

  Its completely doable, for what it is. The thing is some 3d means everyone will want a lot of 3d.

  Im pretty sure just the nagging from me and everybody else for plane 2d would pale in comparison to the headaches of true 3d.

  That's probably not a good idea since it takes a tick to read the color from single pixel in Drawing Canvas, which is the only object that can do that.

  Making a list using one of the data type objects would be far faster.

  If you need a visual representation the Tilemap object would work if you go by tile index.

  The platformer template(the one with the green background) is pretty basic, did you try it?

  Select the object, untick global in the properties section of the editor.

  If it doesn't have that property, well you know...

  You can put games into Iframe objects. That's like putting a car in a car.

  You would have to fake that its a game in a game in order to not kill the browser.

  Yeah, I noticed there's a few that do that.

  Templates, how does that work?
