  It would be interesting to see all the sorting types made up in events.

  I think the object index would be a much better than the id however. Especially since you can reference it in actions sprite(index), sprite(index+1), etc.

  ... or you could just do a for each ordered by x ascending.

  I think ideally you should use 1 pathfinder, and use sin, cos to offset the other units.

  I also think avoiding instances within the same unit would be taxing enough that avoiding instances in other units would probably get bogged down in javascript.

  "Sprites cannot have arrays, dictionaries, or other Sprites (or even anything remotely object related) as an Instance Variable."

  See that part that says container?

  Also you're not limited to one instance of any data object, and you can reference them using the index array(0), array(1) etc.

  Everything would have to be scanned, as you couldn't possibly design fictional environments with that amount of detail within the normal development time.

  Unless it was randomly generated... which is kinda scary as well.

  Theres already a ton of Minecraft knockoff engines out there. None seem to be interested in a non code type editor.

  I do wonder what MS plans to do about that now that they have acquired Mojang.

  Perhaps this should be in open topics then?

  I already asked for a "wishful thinking" forum, and was snubbed.

  With it being from Google it should hopefully gain that kind of use fairly well.

  Frankly I'm a little surprised the net hasn't pushed back against Paypal and the like for the fees they charge.

  I don't think it builds the sheet until the export.

  Plus one for the idea tho...

  Well changing layout in webgl should free memory.

  That would solve the issue, and theres a high probability that may be the only solution.

  Might make sure you have webgl working.

  I would think that switching layouts would prove that... other than using the conditions that is.
