Scenes
The scenes in Force are a container where all your game objects will be located, as well as their behavior, logic and gameplay will be reproduced. Scenes can be edited as you like, saved, played back.
The entire gameplay and game logic can be located in one large scene, or various elements of your game, for example, levels can be stored in other scenes and interact with each other.
