Hello.

I have a box that should be in the center of the game, and I have several texts that should be aligned to the left in relation to the box.

Like this:

![example](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/phaser1/original/2X/d/da952be64e182dea09819d70f3b8d52a5dc7324e.png)

I have tried using a container, but if I add the container to the center of the game, the texts will appear where they shouldn’t.

Changing the origin of the texts to the center would not work either, because then the texts would be aligned in the center.

Any idea? ☹

Thanks.

Position the text below (0, 0).

Swear I thought I had tried this before.
