Layers, copying sprites, scrolling background
Some small updates before i move on to bigger features:
It's now possible to show/hide layers while working in build-mode.
The reason being, how difficult it was to work on objects which were set on the same position (F.e. a spike behind a foreground tile, elements on top of water..).
Now, you can hide the foreground layer - edit everything behind it and set it to visible again.

Another UI addition is, the possibility to copy a sprite on the screen. If you have drawn a lot of different objects, and already set them in the game-screen, you can hold "C" + click on an object to select it. That way, you don't have to find that specific object in the left section.

Last update is, scrolling backgrounds. You can find them here:

With this option you can create moving background images. It looks great with clouds or something similar.
