  You can't drag what - the box, the sprite, the item? Why can't you drag it?

  Try adding this action:

  Sprite2 set angle to myAngle

  Here is a demo:

  I can't see your images. Try uploading them to some other service - like imgur or postimages.org

  ClimbProgress=0 when the player starts climbing and ClimbProgress=1 at the top.

  You can add something like 0.01 or 0.005 to this variable when key "W" is down.

  I tried that too and also see about 30-40% difference in fps between the "Array->Value at" event and "array.at(x,y)".

  Who would have thought!

  Set unitName="water"

  Set unitQuantity=43

  Set text to "I want " & unitQuantity & " units of " & unitName

  If you load these lines of text from csv, it may be easier to put tags in them and then use replace expression.

  You can mark tags with some rarely used symbol - #$@%& etc.

  For example, CSV file contains this string:

  "I want #quantity# units of #name#"

  And then you do:

  Set text to replace(textFromCSV, "#quantity#", str(unitQuantity))

  Set text to replace(textFromCSV, "#name#", unitName)

  Put this event inside the "Repeat 100000 times" loop, run the project in Debug Mode and see if there is any difference in CPU load and FPS.

  This is quite a bold statement

  A million sprites, with behaviors and events? I'd love to see some examples, and would definitely be interested to know how (if) this could be done.

  add two instance variables to the sprite: StartX, StartY.

  On Start of the layout set StartX to Sprite.x, set StartY to Sprite.y

  On Drop - if dropped on a wrong spot, set Sprite position to (Sprite.StartX, Sprite.StartY)

  Sure, you can add other instance variables to that family, say TargetGroup and TargetLayer.

  When family member is tapped, deactivate all popup groups and make all popup layers invisible, then activate only ButtonsFamily.TargetGroup and set ButtonsFamily.TargetLayer visible.

  Or you can create an event that runs every 0.1 seconds for example, checks layers visibility, and activates/deactivates corresponding groups.

  If you have lots of layers/groups, you can name them like PopupGroup1, PopupGroup2, PopupGroup3... PopupLayer1, PopupLayer2, PopupLayer3..

  and disable them in a loop:

  For "x"=1 to 20 ->

  ... Set group "PopupGroup"&loopindex deactivated

  ... Set layer "PopupGroup"&loopindex invisible
