by Joe (Updated on 2012-07-21)
Tutorial 2 - Attributes, Saving/Loading, Kongregate API
CHANGES TO CURRENT STENCYL VERSION:
- Game Center is now Dashboard
- No longer need to make Actor Behaviors; can use "Events" tab instead
- Now need to use "Add an Event" at the top left to make the headings
- If using events, do not need to "Attach to Actor" (still needed with Behaviors though)

Thanks Jon. I recently re-installed StencylWorks and now the updates worked properly for me... dunno why it didn't update normally before.

Sorry about the delayed comments. Please PM me or come to livestream.com/poweredbyflowers for quicker responses.
Bernard: I have gotten reports of different versions, which is interesting since I do all of mine in the most up-to-date versions available... I am not sure why it is not showing up for you :(
TBrayner: When you add a new game attribute, it does not show up in any existing behaviors until you close and re-open them... annoying I know.

In the part where I needed to configure the behavior to show the score on the screen, the attributes (Score and Highscores) are not available in the Attributes palette / game attributes ...
