Check out one of my first great accomplishments with construct2 : a simple 8x8 drawing app,

Next step is to learn how to create a save/load feature so ppl can save their creations, enjoy!

Nice, its a visual representation of an array right?

That's how I need to learn how to do it, but the way I did it is simple, I made the color objects and a bunch of blank canvas squares all aligned to a 100x100 pixel 8x8 grid, the color object sets a global variable And the.blank canvas object changes to a color.set by the variable that is stored in an animation frame .

If you can give me an example of how to do it in an array though, it would probably make it easier to save though right?

This is the best tutorial on arrays.

construct.net/en

It has pictures unlike the one in the manual.

Basically an array creates a 2D or 3D box where each square contains a value.

An array starts from a 0,0,0 (in this case you only need a 2D box, so you only need a X,Y, so yours will be 0,0)

So imagine your 10,10 grid, the first top left pixel should be a value at 0,0, the one on its right would be 1,0 and the one below that 1,1.

Store a value from 1-X (X being the number of colors you want in the palette) and make 0 white.

Make a every tick to check if eg. ArrayAt(0,0) value = 1. If it is, change its color to 1.

:) saving would be a piece of cake from there.

This is a good start,But can you make an option to reduce the pixel size?.
