Not yet, but this is coming soon. 

No, not in the current version of Gamefroot. But you can make a grouped selection and move the objects together. Click and drag with the selection tool, and then drag any object in the selection to move them all together.

Until we’ve updated all our tutorials, some of them will look a little out of date. Here’s what’s changed:

The Sidebar

Game objects live in the Media sidebar. 

Access Marketplace Packs from the Media sidebar by clicking Explore Marketplace. 

Upload your own game art by clicking Upload Media.

Create and edit scripts from the Code sidebar – and you can still right-click on an object in your level and click Add Script.

Levels

Levels have been condensed into numbered circles. 

Level properties are accessible via the cog on each level in the Levels sidebar. 

You can drag level handles up and down to reorder them – the top level is your first level, and the bottom level is your last level.

Variables in the Script Editor

We’ve split up Variables, Global Variables, and Local Variables into their own tabs. 

If you are unsure what to use, start off with plain Variables. You can create new variables by clicking on Create Variable. 

If you want to change the data type for a variable, you will need to delete the variable and make a new one – this prevents accidentally breaking widely used variables in your scripts.

Game Settings

You can change your game’s name, description, thumbnail, and resolution from the Game Settings button in the secondary bar underneath the Edit menu.

Even though it looks like your level has limits, the game world is infinitely large. The visible level size is only a guide. To prevent the player from falling outside your level, block them off with tiles or solid objects.

You could also code limits into the player script. For example, constantly check if the player travels further than 2000 pixels, and if they have, restart the level:

All game objects have physics by default. If you collide with them, you will impart force to them which will make them move. You can either disable their physics or make them immovable with one of these simple scripts:

Immovable script

Set physics to false script
