How can I put more than one level in a Castle deck?

You can put more than one level into a Castle deck by adding a new card and using the Send to Card response to send the player from your first level to your second level. For instance, you might make a multi-level golf game by creating a golf deck, and when your first level is complete, adding a rule to the ball that says:

When this collides with tag #hole: Send player to card (your card here)

How can I stop my character from rotating upside down when they move?

It sounds like you used the default Character blueprint to make your character in your game, you can remove the rotation by removing the last rule in the character's logic tab.

I lost my work, how can I get it back?

Sorry to hear that! The good news is that Castle has two ways of restoring your deck if you lost it due to a crash or other issue.

If you lost your deck after pressing the save button at least once, your deck is still on your profile but you've lost your latest work. To get your work back, navigate to your deck on your profile and go into the card you were last editing. Select the gear icon on the top of the editor and then navigate to the "backups" tab. The latest backup should include most of and sometimes all of your lost work.

If you lost your deck before pressing the save button, your deck won't appear on your regular create tab. Instead, it can be found in the "Restore" tab of the create screen. The top item in the restore tab is likely your lost deck. Simply restore it and it will appear back in your list of decks.

How do I remix someone else's deck?

To remix a deck, press the share button on the bottom right and then select "View Deck Source". This will open an editor which you can edit the deck from and then save your new copy as a remix with the "Remix" button on the top right of the editor.

How can I copy a blueprint from someone else deck to my own deck?

Copying a blueprint is a similar process to remixing. First, enter their deck source with the "View Deck Source" option in the share button. Find the blueprint that you'd like to copy, and select "edit" for that blueprint. Pressing edit will open the inspector, where one of the options on the top right of the inspector is "copy". After copying the blueprint, you can leave the deck source view and navigate to your own deck. Press the + sign on the belt at the bottom of the screen, then select "paste blueprint". You're all done! Now you can drag the newly pasted blueprint into the scene to use.
