Hmmm, I see. I had been thinking of the building blocks like "world" and "item" and "Player" to refer to basically the same thing they would mean in a game, hence my questions, but I see clearly their meaning is a lot more flexable, and i'm already having thoughts as to how to create specific game events.
I do have several more questions, but Perhaps to cut down the number of irritating people like me with long lists of questions, it might help if there was a tutorial or written examples of how to create various game effects? the user's manual is a great reference but while I can very much see how various objects sgo together, others are less clear to me. I know there will be the example games, but it would very much help if there was also a brief description of how each example game was created. sorry for the insistance and the long and annoying posts of questions.
