For example, this would also be convenient when you want the game to have interface design themes and you could preview the themes immediately in the editor without starting the game each time, in order to waste less time. Just example: @property(Node) labelNode : Node = null; @property prefixSymbol : string = '#'; changeLabelPrefix() { let labelComponent =.
