hey, thanks for the kind words :) looking forward to your games!

(For those wondering how to make a Sprite be a Temporary Wall, simply Add a Message, but I'm sure most people know this by now.

For a Permanent Wall, I'd guess from playing all WW Games so far but 1 [Nancy Goo just won't Load!], unless people have made new ones on their itch.io Profile that IDK about [which is very possible!]: they seem to be Invisible Tiles that are on the Same Level as your Avatar [only way I know of, since that'll stop you from falling off Ledges and into Holes].

Also, Reload WW Editor WebPage to Make a New Game, as the 'New Game' Button Makes a BUG'd Room [1 small block to stand on]!  I find it much like Minecraft and Luanti that WW defaults to a Room where you're FORCED to build onto the existing Block Tiles rather than be able to Draw where you want, same as you MUST Copy/Dupe Room 0 and use Invisible Sprites for Exits in order to Make "New" Rooms.)

The MAIN THING this Game Engine needs really badly is the ability to ERASE SPRITES From Rooms!

It's so annoying placing a Sprite by Mistake, only to realize that the only way to "Delete" it from a Room is to Copy a Sprite and make it Invisible, but even then (eg. if you need to see those Sprites, you can Fill with a Solid Color), you can quickly make Multiples of said Sprite in a Room that way, so you're not actually getting rid of Sprites.

Please add a way to Erase Sprites from Rooms so that this cute editor will have the Much-Needed function it's been lacking! Thank you!

One more thing if you can: a Rotate Map (Room) feature would be amazing (having to Zoom on a Certain Part of a Room just to "Move" the Room to where you want it is frustrating!).

Oh, and maybe a way to Place Tiles fast WITHOUT that Glitch (you know the one, where if you keep holding down, the Tiles Automatically Pile-Up on each other!).

Keep up the good work! :D

Thanks for all this feedback! It means a lot!
Some I still have to understand and maybe spiders or krisekrise will reply too since they are more deep in the code-side of WW (love the shorthandle haha)

Are you on PC with a 3-Button-Mouse? 
If not, this might be the reason, but otherwise try to use the Middle-Mouse-Button! By holding it you should be able to rotate in the current room and when holding Shift and the MIddle-Mouse-Button you should be able to move in the current room without the need to zoom! Hope I understood your problem and this might help you.

Additionally you have a select button in the middle/top UI with which you can select sprites. On the right, the sprite-edit window should appear and there is a delete button. 

A different and hacky approach that might be useful in other cases is to select the sprite on the left and replace it with an invisible one. This way you can replace certain sprites with one click in every room (very handy for exits)

And you should give Nancy Goo another try! It just takes reaaaaaally long to load :]

Cosmo (maker of WT [Whimtale]) has made such an amazing engine (combines Bitsy elements with Twine [Blocks]), and he's been really responsive and helpful!

And the five of you here seem to have just as helpful a forum/community! It's so good to see, especially since itch.io is an incredible website for developers and indie game-makers.

Sorry, forgot to say that I currently use a Chromebook, but thanks to your suggestion, I'll definitely look for a KB Shortcut for a Middle Mouse Button!

And you're right on the money with that awesome tip for how to Delete a Sprite in a Room; it's probably the Most Overlooked feature in WW and I definitely should have noticed it sooner, THANK YOU!!!

As for Nancy Goo, I reached-out to the creator (no reply yet) and I figure there's nothing more that can be done, as I've Waited literally Five+ Minutes, but it never gets that far, as it tends to CRASH and I'm Forced to Reload the WebPage.

Thanks so much for the help!

UPDATE: Just tried Pressing (Click-Hold [NOT Tap-Hold!]) 3 Fingers on TrackPad and then Scroll Around, which WORKS to Rotate the WW Map/Room, in case other CB Users need to know this! Thanks again for your help, as you've answered all my questions!
