 Basically you have two features here:
 
-1. The first is you can place `h2d.Object`s at specific layers by `s2d.addChildAt( myobj, MY_LAYER )`. `0` will be the layer the most in the background, while each higher layer is rendered over/above the precedent layer. Usually you predefine your layer indices in some way for instance by `final MY_LAYER_NAME : Int = 23;` (see in the sample below) so you know what each integer (`Int` value) stands for.

Usually you predefine your layer indices in some way for instance by `final MY_LAYER_NAME : Int = 23;` (see in the sample below) so you know what each integer (`Int` value) stands for.
 
 2. The second feature is that the layer class also allows to control objects individually by `.over()` and `.under()`. Finally you can benefit from the `ysort()` method to order a layer. *In the sample below this will prevent housings to overlap in a weird way. A house farther away from our viewpoint should be rendered behind houses that are closer!*

+In the previous sections we already used `s2d` which represents the active current scene rendered by the `hxd.App`.
 
 A **Scene** (represented by [h2d.Scene](https://heaps.io/api/h2d/Scene.html)) represents any scene the user can visit in the Heaps app. Scenes may be *an intro showing the developers logo on start-up*, the *main menu of the game*, maybe a *cutscene* and finally *the level or world* where the actual game takes place and the player walks around.
 
 `h2d.Scene` (represented by [h2d.Scene](https://heaps.io/api/h2d/Scene.html)) is a special object (it is actually a `h2d.Object`, too!) which is at the root of the scene tree. In [hxd.App](https://heaps.io/api/hxd/App.html) it is accessible by using the `s2d` variable (as we have seen previously). You will need to add your objects to the scene before they can be displayed. The Scene also handles events such as clicks, touch, and keyboard keys.
