If you change the screen resolution, you need to also change the renderer’s resolution.

Just change the background image to 320x240 and you’ll be good!

would be cool to make something like the strandbeest using the linkages

> Jansen's linkage is a planar leg mechanism designed by the kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen to generate a smooth walking motion. Jansen has used his mechanism in a variety of kinetic sculptures which are known as Strandbeesten (Dutch for "beach beasts"). Jansen's linkage bears artistic as well as mechanical merit for its simulation of organic walking motion using a simple rotary input. These leg mechanisms have applications in mobile robotics and in gait analysis.

@richard, I was just wondering. Because some people are already using this extension in their games it wouldn’t be smart to change the functionalities of some of the blocks, but would it be okay to add _new_ blocks? I was just going through some other ideas that I think would be nice to add to the extension, but if that is out of the picture that’s okay.

it’s up to you! indeed, bad idea to break existing projects but new blocks are generally okay

Oh hey I made that extension 😃

I made it before I even knew about this thread, to solve one specific issue we had at a Code Ninjas centre, but I applaud you for having a similar idea, great minds think alike 😛
