It looks like a 2 year old's program with that logo.

Most RTS-Games today are hardly RTS at all, but more about tactics than strategy (yes, there is a difference ).

Are you able to expand on why this is? (I'm not an RTS expert)

Niffty, however, I noticed a little pause in the animation when the colors switched.

LOL. That's all there is to say.

Cheers!

Also, I'd never noticed that zeropad system expression before - that's really useful!

It's easily possible in events! You just need a little math. If seconds is your number in seconds, floor(seconds / 60) is the minutes (divide by 60 and round down), and seconds % 60 is the seconds counter (modulo 60, ie. remainder after dividing by 60).

what if you have above 59 minutes and you want hours too?

I think someone else was having problems with animated sprites and the collision mask. I think the conclusion was to not do it for animated objects.

I could be wrong though.

You can adjust the way the behaviours work by using events, there is also a "custom movement" behaviour which gives you a lot of control via the events.

It uses floating point values. If you'd like, I could make an option where only integer positions are allowed.

That would be marvellous! I'm not sure if that's the solution to an issue with my game or not - basically when I scroll the screen I notice a slight "seam" between my image tiles.
