One trick to this is that objects are included into a group if relayerGroupedControls is set to true and the layer of the control is set to the layer above the group. Meaning that if you have this arrangement: stack "Untitled 1" card id 1002 | group id 1005 (1005) | | button "Button" (1006) |

Re: A question/survey of sorts for users of Navigator

I was thinking about something to support this, but I worry that it would be over-engineered: Allow defining a set of conditions, matched with actions, and then run the conditions in order and the first (all?) that match execute the corresponding action. Meaning in your case you'd do something lik

Re: OT: Wordle

FYI, the game Deduce http://www.obviouslygenuine.com/Obviously_Genuine/Products.html does a roughly similar game mechanic with six-letter words, and offers many interesting UI features -- e.g. you can propose that a letter is correct, and the game will show you the consequences of that choice. gc

Re: Layers in PBrowser
