    Suggestion US Presence

    Has Playtech/YoYo thought about setting up a US Office? Would that help with your Talent Pool and with resources for the folks over here in the US using your products? Just saying. I think Mike might like having somewhere to crash while he’s over here.

    Legacy GM [SOLVED] Moving object from x and y to x2 and y2 in a certain amount of time.

    How can I make an object move from one specified location to another in a specified time limit at a constant speed? I've pretty much got the moving of objects down, but I don't know how to enforce a time limit that would also determine the constant speed for the object from a given position.
