      May be i m not understanding it because i m not aware of Scene manager and how it works.
      So going to understand the scene manager and its role in Game Template. [-O< Hope will figure it out .

      Does that happen only in levels? If so you probably need to make some adjustments to your objects position to look right. Or maybe accidentally you place stage where it shouldnt be. (Check for stage:setPosition in your code)

      No its just the first level i m working on , don't have more levels . But the image which i m using is of size 1199 * 686 , Earlier i had trouble displaying that image itself . So to make things work i change the Logical dimension of my program to 1280 * 800 , it displayed the image properly. And then i position everything with respect to that dimension. Look like i have selected wrong image. But nothing is clear

      Did you alter the lines
      application:setLogicalDimensions(conf.width, conf.height)
application:setScaleMode(conf.scaleMode)
      in main.lua?

      If so, please restore these lines.

      if you alter the resolution in your project properties, go to config.lua and change the lines
      --logical width of screen
width = 480,
--logical height of screen
height = 800,
      so that the values reflect your resolution.

      Alternatively, change them to
      width = application:getContentWidth(),
height = application:getContentHeight(),
      This will make it possible to change resolution of your project without adjusting anything else.


      edit: Just my opinion, but I don't recommend using the game template if you're a starter. It basically takes away the work of setting up your project every time, but you should at least once try to build it yourself. I'd also advise to write your own simple scene manager (it can be done in 10 lines of code or so), so you will get a feeling of how things work

      @Holonist
      Yes i changed conf.width and conf.height , i choose the wrong number for width and Height as i thought my game is in landscape mode so width should be bigger than height ; but found that Gideros player just rotates the screen by 90 degree.

      Just simple thing took one and half day .

      @Holonist
      And yes I will write my scene manager , because i was happy when my game worked but at the same time had the feeling that this code is not written by me .
      So yes i m going to , Thanks :)
