  I would just add a variable as a filter

  on collision

  ->variable collisioncount<1, add 1 to collisioncount , do foo

  ... reset collisioncount next tick

  Check the how do I section

  Scrolling / Camera should be a good start

  Yeah, there's dozens of ways, all do it differently.

  That's why there is no official plug.

  I would suggest studying different apps and find an example that you want to replicate.

  You can then ask the forum what the best way to do that is.

  The basics:

  On start of layout, set variable "howmany" to int(random(10)), set variable "canspawn" to 1

  variable "canspawn" = 1

  ->variable animalcount< variable "howmany"

  -->every 1 seconds, system create object animal at random x y, add 1 to variable animalcount

  I would suggest looking up how variable comparisons work, globals, instance.

  Note loader complete is for loader layouts, stick to on start of layout.

  What about the issues of using sprites for everything?

  For example you can't define hotspots, or image points at any other time than on import.

  Another might be that you can't decide what frames are loaded on creation.

  These should be features accessible to the object, and not only available to a behavior.

  Start with what are the conditions you want.

  Between 1 and 10 every second when the game loads doesn't make much sense.

  All conditions are if statements.

  That does both horizontally, as well as vertically, but if you set the width of the layout to the window width it will only scroll up, and down.

  I would add that it only covers the flick scroll. In touch scrolling would be a separate set of events, but as simple as set scrolly to touch.y
