As a result, I became irritated since I wanted to enjoy smooth gameplay, so I began troubleshooting the issues. Fortunately, it didn’t take long to resolve the problem, and my previous experience with similar difficulties came in handy. I also contacted some veteran players to solicit their feedback.

I have a ParentNode (say 1000px by 1000px) and a centered ChildNode (say 200px by 200px). ChildNode has a script attached to it and listens to touch events and prints out Touch Coordinates. How can I get the Touch Coordinates relative to the ChildNode instead of Touch Coordinates with regard to whole screen? For example when I click on the lower left corner of ChildNode, I want to see (10, 10) instead of (400, 400). // Script attached to the centered child node onLoad(){ this.node.on(Node.E.

Thus, my only option was to start searching for ways to enjoy the game from where I left it.

It's funny you ask because my current role is Technical Designer. Over the course of my career, I've swung back and forth across the line between engineering and game design like a pendulum, sometimes leaning more heavily on my technical skills and others depending on my design skills. That likely affects my opinion on the role.
