I do agree about removing the `duplicate` graphic, as I think that might be the root of the problem.\r\n\r\nApologies if this is obvious… It’s important to recognise that `duplicate` and `clone` are really different. `Duplicate` is copy and paste – it’s an editor shortcut. We duplicate __a Thing__, and then we modify the duplicate in some way (either by changing its costume, or changing its scripts) so it becomes __a new Thing__. `Clone` is object-oriented programming. In this case, we’re creating new balloon __Instances__ – they’re all Instances of exactly __the same Thing__. They all share the same costumes, and the same scripts.\r\n\r\n`Duplicate` is introduced in Rock Band, but only for costumes. Perhaps it would be good to somehow introduce it for sprites, too (perhaps even in Lost in Space?) Then we can contrast by saying that to create copies of a thing that all have exactly the same costumes and scripts, we use `clone`."}}
