There is still clumping up going on; we'll be working on getting them separated. (They actually do have assigned seats already in code, so hopefully this will be an easy fix.)
Quote: I see there are icons with puppet strings (presumably for control), but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is that not done yet or am I missing something?
Puppet strings are working from my end, but it looks like if a character is walking already it will not work.
Quote:The clothing does not inidcated if they are teachers or students and seems to change on the same person very frequently?
Graphics are largely placeholders at this stage.
-Students wear a full uniform with a red crest on the jacket. Trousers will always be dark blue
-Administrators have a jacket with no crest; trousers will vary
-Teachers wear a dress shirt of varying colors with no jacket; trousers will also vary
-Gym teacers wears polo shirts
With luck all will become much clearer in a few more builds 
The characters' clothing, skin colour and hair colour are changing. Previously approximately once every second or so, now approx once every 4-5 seconds.
From your description, I'm not sure if you're seeing the same as I am.
I've taken some screenshots from two re-runs and pasted them into one JPEG per re-run so it's easier to play "Spot the difference".[/quote]
I've checked in version 5 (using the saved file copied from version 4) and characters are still clumping and colours changing.
Still, I can't use the puppet strings to control characters.
All above version 5 (using saved file from version 4 as I didn't have time to start from scrach), Windows 11 Home, 1980 x 1020, both 100% and 125% scale
