create one global object and assign vars and objects to it. just to reduce.

have a look at the hypeextensionsthread and you’ll find that it’ll be fine to just append your data to the hypeDocument.

hypeDocument.myGame = new Object();
hypeDocument.myGame.level = 1;
hypeDocument.myGame.myFunction = function(bla, blumm){return blumm}
