  speed=pps-0.5^dt

  At this point I'm not even sure if thats the proper formula.

  It would:

  A: Simplify things for non coders, in an engine made for non coders.

  B: Get a decent approximation of pixels per second without having to guess.

  To be honest I have a hard time remembering every little trick without writing every formula down.

  When we didn't even have lerp I looked "x = A + t * (B - A)" up, just like anybody else can.

  Don't even get me started on anglelerp(), or distance(), or angle().

  I wonder if perhaps a new expression for speed would be a good idea.

  Something that would have dt applied, but be simplified to pixels per second, like say speed().

  Let me just add that you should assume you might want to use timescale in all projects.

  I'd start with:

  Don't use dt in conditions. Use it in actions.

  Then only use dt if you can imagine a scenario where you might want to timescale the output.

  And all behaviors should have dt built in.

  If you insist on using collisions I would suggest using the projection method.

  Collisions for iso squares is going to be a little iffy...

  You make a variable called myscale, multiply the width and the height by that number.

  You would then know what the scale is.

  The system scale is what is now redundant.

  Quickest method would be variables used as a modifier: my glayerOffsetx= n glayerOffsety=n

  Nobody is trying to keep features from being added. We're all just dancing around the fact that if its not already in, then at this point in time it may not be doable in C2.

  Sadly the gui lib issue has struck again. It killed open source CC, and has hobbled C2.

  You can either work around that, or do whatever this is.

  In Windows hit the start button, type in the search bar "magnifier".

  You're welcome.

  Yeah, there is no scale expression, as you can't get scale in reverse if the width is different than the height.

  A variable is the only way to go, but it also renders the scale action pointless.

  The way I understand it, it picks the instance that overlaps a single point with its polygon.

  Ah.

  Guess I was looking in the wrong place.

  Thanks.
