## How the AppGameKit Visual Editor Works

The Media
Visual Editor imports your projects media files and allows you to drag & drop
them into the main editor window. From there you can visually modify the media
with controls to re-position, scale, rotate, set properties, duplicate and
more.

Setting Object Properties
Visual Editor provides an easy way for object properties to be set up. You
simply click on an object and its current properties will be displayed; you’re
then able to easily change any of the starting values for that object.

The sprite properties you can configure are:
* Depth
* Visible
* Flip Vertical
* Flip Horizontal
* Colour
* Alpha
* Physics – 9 settings
* Collision Shape
* Animation
* Custom values

You can also add in Text and Edit Box objects.

Multiple Scenes
Most apps will have more than one game scene (main menu, game play, game over,
high score, etc). This is where the Visual Editor scene manager helps you.
Simply choose a scene and design the items that need to appear within it.

Cross Device Testing
With the multiple resolution support you can preview how your app will look on
different devices that have varying resolutions and aspect ratios. You choose
a base resolution and from that the Visual Editor will re-scale and re-
position your sprites across the various, different resolutions. You can also
make adjustments in any resolution to ensure your app looks the best on any
device.

Exporting and testing
The AppGameKit Visual Editor integrates with the Tier 1 IDE allowing you to
instantly test your visual projects. A project file is exported which you can
then modify with your own code to bring your game logic to life. For Tier2 C++
developers a template project is provided.
