I made a demo which uses System Save/Load actions for undo/redo.

newt Yeah, I got TiledBackground and TileMap mixed up, sorry. TileMap also has image offset, but you can't change it with events.

Yes, I though about TileMap.. Forget about the crystal ball, I found an effect that creates a perfect sphere, with rotation!

I still don't know how to detect which country is clicked, but I'm sure you'll figure it out :)

Which is better - 1 horse or 100 chickens? :)

It depends on your project, on how you use these sprites etc.

If these sprites serve the same purpose (for example all are buttons), have similar properties, behaviors, then it's better to keep them as 100 frames in one sprite object.

But there may be exceptions, for example if the images are big, one sprite with 100 frames will use a lot of memory. If you don't need all 100 of them on one layout, it would be better to use separate objects.

Set different animation, or different animation frame for each instance.

You can of course have 100 objects if you like, it's up to you. In this case you will need to add them to one family.

No, lerp does not get faster or slower if a and b values are fixed.

Add dt to t; Player set x to lerp(100, 500, t) - player will move at constant speed.

Player set x to lerp(player.x, 500, dt) - will start fast and then slow down.

lerp(a, b, f) is equivalent to this formula: (a + f * (b - a))

Yes, container is the right way to do this. Create tank body, and the turret will be created automatically, you will only need to pin it.

See the first link Kyatric posted. You should create 1 sprite object and add 100 instances (copies) of it to the layout. Not 100 different sprite objects!

Yeah, LiteTween or Tween is probably the easiest way, plus you can select a nice easing effect. On click pick all sprites above, set tween target to self.y-1000, pick all sprites below, set tween target to self.y+1000. On second click bring them back (in LiteTween you can use "reverse" action).

100 objects with tween should not be a problem even on mobile.

You can use the family exactly the same way as you use objects - "For each Enemies", Enemies.UID, pick Enemies instances etc.

One specific expression useful when dealing with families is ObjectTypeName, it returns the object name, for example you can use it in conditions like Enemies.ObjectTypeName="Zombie"
