It allows the screen to scroll beyond the edge of the layout.

For example if you have the camera following a player using "scroll to," when they approached the edge of the layout the scrolling stops, hiding the off layout areas. "Unbounded scrolling" allows the scroll to follow the player to the edge.

In some screen modes like "Scale Outer" a game size smaller than the screen won't be allowed to move from the top left of the screen, because it would show beyond the edge of the layout. Turning on "Unbounded scrolling" allows it to center on the screen.

Does that work for what you need?

(spawning instead of moving of course.)

And here is a tutorial that shows masking. I linked to page two so you could see the illustrations of the masks revealing areas of the map.

Is the collision path set to fit the bounding box, sometimes when it creates it's own, it may be too small to click.

If so.. In the image editor, the bottom button on the left tool bar. With that selected, right click on your sprite and set it to the bounding box, and it will be easier to click.

You'd be surprised how much you can optimize. Here's a playable 1 player pong game in two events.

Hmm, not sure why moving one is changing what happens, but I may have fixed it by making event 7 an OR block, and having it check for ground as well.

Change event 7 from an Else to a condition that picks overlapping blocks. "Else" wasn't picking.

Actually for that I would use a Tiled background over a 9Patch. Is this what you are looking for?

Maybe this tutorial would help?

It doesn't sound like that's the way it would work but it sure seems to happen in the example.

To drive it home, disable event 1. Where all blocks are destroyed, one is created.

Work around is to put a destroy in "on start of layout"

(which, now that I think about it, I seem to remember doing with Chicks on Trampolines...)

Your example uses the Plugin Scmi by Brashmonkey. I don't have it so I can't test it, and I bet Ashley will say the same thing.
