JSON is just a data storage format, it doesn't have any of the features you are asking. It only stores text and numbers. So everything should be programmed with events.

For example, you can add <speed> tags to the text, but you will need to parse them using text expressions (find, tokenat etc.) and program events which will output the text at different speeds.

how to wait function where a character just does types for a set amount of time

Again, this is not a feature of JSON. You can add a "wait" key to JSON, but you will need an event that reads this key and waits for the specified amount of seconds before proceeding to the next line.

Perhaps you are looking for "Request pointer lock" action. It basically disables mouse cursor. You can then track mouse movements using Mouse.MovementX and Mouse.MovementY expressions, and scroll the screen accordingly.

Maybe I don't understand the question, but you can add ScrollTo behavior to the camera sprite and move it to (Mouse.x, Mouse.y) position.

Try to write to LS only after an event which can't happen on its own when the game is resumed. For example, only after the ball is kicked.

That's possible with scripting, but not in events.

You can add these objects to a family, add configure an instance variable ID for them.

For example, instances of puzzleGrid1 object will have ID=1. Instances of puzzleGrid2 will have ID=2 etc.

Then you will be able to pick a member of the family and access its properties:

Family compare ID=AnotherObjectName.number

DrawingCanvas set position to (Family.x, Family.y)

Assign tags when playing these sounds. And check if the tag is already playing.

I'm pretty sure my code's correct - when one of the variables I store in local storage changes, I call a "save" function

I would check how often this save function is called. Can it be called when the app is resumed from the background? If this is the case and the app crashes at the same time, this definitely can corrupt the data.

Make sure that you are not writing to LS too often.

I believe cranberrygame plugins are very old and no longer working. You need to remove them from the project.

I'm guessing MobileMasterIAP is from the Chadori's collection:
