Understanding the Stencyl Dashboard

The Dashboard in Stencyl is the control center—it's where we will find all the resources in our game, whether they are scenes, actors, or any of the other resources that we'll be working with throughout the game development process.

It's a good idea to become familiar with Dashboard, so click on the Dashboard tab and note that the Actor Types heading and the Scenes heading both have a digit 1 next to them. This is telling us that there is currently one actor and one scene in our game, so it's a useful way to know, at a glance, what resources we have in a game that we are developing.
