  1. First and foremost, I want to thank the devs for making Phaser Editor, it's amazing! I'll definitely be purchasing it on my next paycheck (if my company doesn't expense it). For a bit of background I'm new to web-based game development (and web programming as a whole), and Phaser Editor is my entry point! That being said I come from a background as a Unity developer, and so I apologize if many (if not all) of my questions relate more to Phaser and js as a whole and not Phaser Editor in particular, but I'm hoping for the way to best do things using Phaser Editor. These questions are asked having done the "Mario-Style Platformer" tutorial found at: https://gamedevacademy.org/make-a-mario-style-platformer-with-the-phaser-editor/ There are a few things I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around:What exactly is a prototype? Does every object (sprite) have one? Where/how can you access this? Is it the name of the original image file? The first instance you create? The name of a function you first need to write and then assign? How would that be done?When you drag an object from assets to scene, or duplicate an object, does it create a new prototype, or a new instance?Can you assign instance variables to prototypes/objects? Can this be done in the scene editor? (ie every "coin" has the variable "collected" set to "false" at start)What is the best way to do this?In the templates and the "Mario-Style Platformer" tutorial, all logic is done in Level.js. Can you instead place the logic of each prototype/object into its own script? (ie Player.js, Coin.js)As Level.js already loads the assets.json, does every script need to do the same, or can they just access it from Level.js? How is cross-script referencing done?In the same tutorial, all the fruits/coins are collected into a group. Is this a container/parent object? Are the elements then children? What is the best way/when is the best time to assign a variable to all elements? (I tried doing so in Create using "this.pickups.setAll("collected", false);", but when I checked the value in an element later it returned null) In many Phaser examples online, Functions are done with out any form of container (ie Function preload()), and everything is executed by game (ie game.add._____) but in both the tutorial and the templates, functions are done through Level.protoype (ie Level.prototype.preload = function()), and everything is executed by this. (which I assume also points to Level.prototype?). Is there a difference? Is there a reason to doing things one way or the other? What is the best way to check/set a value in each element of the group?(ie Instead of kill the fruit object upon overlap with player, I set them to play an animation. How would I then set them to destroy upon completion?)Is there a way to find a specific element in a group (similar to an array index)?Can you set parent child relations in the scene editor? If not how is this set?Is there a way to use Vectors/containers to compare and assign values? (ie player.position = Vector2(x, y))Is there a way to emulate/simulate a 3 button mouse/middle click? (ie ctrl + alt + left click)I understand that at this time, Phaser Editor does not support Typescript. However as I am more familiar with C based OOP, many have suggested it. Would using Typescript externally alongside Phaser editor break workflow/the project? (From what I understand Phaser Editor does not support editing files externally?)Sorry for the trouble, and thank you for your time!
