  That makes sense; being able to see an application top down would indeed be useful.

  It looks like it works OK for me, is there something I've missed?

  I might have to give this a shot.

  If I'm here doing nothing, a check every 20 mins or so. I reckon I average 10 main page views a day.

  I didn't realise it's reached such a viable stage.

  What software?

  The rationale for families fades when you use the family manager, which is much better equipped to add and remove objects from families, as well as sort out private variables, behaviors, effects, and such.

  Some more stuff may appear in future but I think what's there now is as much as 95% people will need, and strikes a fair comprimise between bloat and necessity.

  Yes, the SDK does and will for at least the lifetime of 1.0 require resources I'd imagine - unless there's a clever solution here.

  Does Express compile resources at all, or can you just not edit them through an editor? If it's the former, you should be able to do it by hand, and it could work out OK.

  For now I'd do it with boxes and text; hopefully someone will make a popup menu object when the menu editor and menu resources work perfectly.

  In the latest builds - like 0.98.9 - the overlapping condition has been redone to make it pick objects in pairs; imagine for example I have 10 object A's overlapping 10 object B's. In old versions it would not necessarily pair the collisions exactly, so you'd have in effect the wrong objects picked. Now the A's will be picked with their respective B's.

  I can't imagine a situation where you'd want the old behavior really, so I'm not convinced using overlapping at offset is the correct way to code your game. What are you trying to achieve exactly?

  I can't see the real benefit, it takes more space and takes longer to view, at least from those screenshots. I did briefly consider once upon a time - aka a long time ago - a flowchart editor, but it's definitely not as intuitive in most cases as the current editor.

  You already can, but now sounds and music are separate from files.

  Has the potential to get very cluttered really.. I don't see the problem currently myself; allows me to easily change and fiddle with private variables.
