Total newbie question. I have created a series of rooms. However, I have decided that I want to start my adventure in a different location. When I create a new room, it is added at the bottom of the tree. How can I move it to the top of the tree (or some other action that will make my new room the starting location of my game)?

Cheers!

Just drag&drop the player object in the left tree into your new room

Is that true for the online version as well? Because I do not seem to have the drag/drop function

No, in the online version just select the player object and press the move button in the top right corner. Then select the new room

this (my code of~for a quick sample playable~testable game below) is a bit more advanced, as it deals with using scripting to choose your character (which then determines what room you start in), which you're likely dabbling in a bit with the GUI~Editor via using its:

'whatever' Object -> 'Verbs' Tab -> (select~choose~add~create your scripts)

but here it is for you (when you're ready, hehe), but I'm doing it in code (as it is faster~easier for me, sorry):

Thank you. I am a teacher and am struggling to keep this in terms that my students (and ME!!!) can understand! We'll give that a shot!
