Make sure the Character Set data is correct. If that doesn't match the font, characters will get mixed up.

There are different ways of doing it. Here's one:

You can't mix Physics with other behaviours. I'm guessing you are doing that - Rotate.

Ya, that's what I got on the second read, although the post did change. I still don't understand the third error point, so I'll wait for a response.

Here's a start.

I didn't understand everything you wanted, but the stacking is sorted out.

First, you can use containers to associate objects together. Read the manual for details.

As soon as you start repeating a pattern, stop. Computers live for patterns, so a For loop deals with your stacking.

Your spawning was overly complicated, so that's a bit simpler now.

Edit: on re-reading, this may not be what you wanted, but I'll let you respond.

A common trick is to just save the few globals into local variables, do your reset, then set the globals back again.

No, that's what I keep saying. It's the index name. Here's an example of accessing a 2D array.

The names are critical.

Get rid of "iterate thru each score". Just use "". You want ScoresArray.Width-1, otherwise you are checking off the end of the array. An array of Width=10, only has indices 0 to 9. Right now you would be accessing 0 to 10 (11 elements).

And delete local variable 'i'.

I meant the poster of the tutorial, not you. There, I made a mistake in wording. The point of the tutorial is to show how to use a for loop, but it's wrong. That's not how you would do a for loop in C2. You would leave the name blank and use 'loopindex' as the index, avoiding 'i' completely. Or name the index 'i' and use loopindex("i") as the index.
