  I want to add a rectangle that tracks one of the global variables and how it changes over time. The simplest way to do this is with a line graph.

  I've found several suggestions in the forum including using the Canvas plugin and I wanted to check to see what the current thinking is on the topic. Is there a best way to do it? A plugin that people often use? Another tool?

  Thanks very much in advance.

  I've been using "pick nearest" successfully. But now I need to pick the two nearest elements. Any suggestions for the most elegant way to do this? Thanks!

  Thanks. I ended up using a container. It seems to work pretty well.

  I would like to put a little text object on each and every obstacle object to report numbers and details for the player. It seems simple enough for me to create N obstacle objects and then add N text objects but it's not clear to me how I should go linking the two. The instance variables, for instance, only hold numbers, booleans and strings, not pointers to objects.

  Any suggestions for how to do this elegantly and in a way to allow for future expansion? Ideally, I would like to just create N pairs of obstacle objects and text objects with a loop instead of drawing them by hand.
