Reduce the amount of typing by replacing commonly typed long functions
If, like me, you find that you are constantly typing out many of the commonly used long functions then a simple trick is to re-assign them to something shorter.
Just some examples:
txt=screen.drawText
spr=screen.drawSprite
scale=screen.setDrawScale
anchor=screen.setDrawAnchor
alpha=screen.setAlpha
So, instead of:
screen.drawSprite("ball",x,y,w,h)
You can now type:
spr("ball",x,y,w,h)
