FAQ:

Q: I do not see all or any objects when pausing!

A: Make sure that the pause controller's depth is in front of all your objects AND tiles.

Q: Couldn't you have put everything inside the controller?

A: Yes, I could have put the contents of the script inside the controller. The script can be used for anything besides pausing a screen. You have a pause example AND a screen capture script (2 in 1).

Q: I do not see all or any objects I created on the pause screen!

A: Make sure that the objects' depth you create AFTER pausing have higher negative depth values than your pause controller.
