lists can get negative index values

 Lists which is known as Array can accept negative index values. For example, a list is created, for a test whether a list within a list is used as well as it accepts a negative index number 
internal name: _testdata
snippet name: test data

the index numbers has to be Int which stands for integer. 

and here is the result. 

 

Application: map data for unlimited or limited dimensions

reducing lag with actor groups

 One of the reasons why Stencyl-nator has almost abandoned Stencyl is due to lag with many actors on scene without behaviors . However Stencyl-nator has recently sort out the lag by minimising the collision relationship between actor groups. 

The real reason for lags is due to default settings where 
default actor group is "Actors" and they are set to be tracking each other with collision relationship

To compensate the need for the collision relationship, users can create new actor group otherwise, an actor group that has no collision relationship with anything else such as buttons.

New Stencyl topic: Number formatter

 it has been a month since the previous post, Stencyl-nator now come out new logic which is Number formatter. 

The number formatter is to put commas in numbers which is larger than 1,000. 

The number formatter in this case, converts the number above 1 quadrillion to standard.

Event type: Global Custom block - cannot access attributes thus the logic is mostly code.
