  x = width/2 + cos(random(angle)) * minimumDistance+random(maximumDistance)

  y = height/2 + sin(random(angle)) * minimumDistance+random(maximumDistance)

  Well you are picking the instance with the condition, so sprite.x, or self.x would be all you need. uid, and iid would be somewhat redundant.

  Sprite(index), and Sprite.UID are two different things.

  Sprite(index) is the index for that instance as it was created from 0 to sprite.count.

  object.uid is a number assigned to any object when it is created, again from 0 to the number of objects in the game.

  Note: uid starts when you add things in the editor, and continues at runtime when you create new objects, including instances.

  What you probably want here is sprite.iid. No need for the () since you dont need to pick anything else.

  Hi Derp^3... if that is your real name.

  Have you tried to do any of that? You should be able to do most of that already.

  Looks like they only support dev on a mac atm.

  Perhaps Ashley could wrangle something for use out of Node-Webkit. :P

  What might be nice for the family issue is a for each object in layer.

  If it was possible to group dissimilar objects like that.

  Basically:

  For each object on layer 0, ordered by self.y, send to front.

  Any thoughts Ashley, or were you planning on going with an index at some point?

  Cool, thanks —

  Actually I would think its possible to use with Node-Webkit as well.

  So there's yet another distribution method.

  Wouldn't a z-index be more appropriate?

  You could could use the "on create" condition to simplify things a bit.

  On green alien created set frame to globalFrame, etc.

  For now you might notice those say "move to bottom", "move to layer", and "move to top".

  Move to bottom, and move to top mean place on top or bottom of their respective layers, not some other layer.
