Rosetta Code with Construct 2

Hello guys,

so I noticed Rosetta Code recently and thought it could be a cool learning opportunity to do / achieve different tasks in Construct 2 that are given on that site. Short explaination: Rosetta Code is a collection of tasks. People are encouraged to try and solve the tasks with a programming language of their choice. Afterwards people can easily compare the approaches you can take with different language to solve a problem. Now Construct 2 isn't its own programming language, but instead based off JavaScript. However that doesn't mean we can't look for some simple events to do the tasks, instead of pasting the js into the browser execute function <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">.

Everyone is invited to participate, it will be interesting to see what you guys can come up with.

List of the more interesting tasks:

I'll start with:

100 doors

24 game (note: uses the eval()-function of JavaScript, since I did not want to script an additional calculator)

There's literally a bazillion different ways to do things in C2.

Not to mention regex....

Noone claimed otherwise.

I disagree. C2's event system is most certainly it's own language, and isn't really anything like Javascript.

But this is a fun idea, I went with this one:

Go big or go home, right?

It took a while to debug it, but it had to be done today. I wouldn't know what I did in a week. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

It only take obj files with four sided faces, and I didn't look into the hole cases.

I would have seen C2 as scripting language, but might be wrong.

Anyway... what a strong entry you have there. I really like the way you display the mesh (hope that's the right term) with the line sprites. Need to take a close look at this.

Draw a sphere

One could probably also just work something with sprites, but using the canvas plugin seemed more reasonable. Added a lot of needless fluff though.

Very cool!

I tried a sprite approach to draw the pixels with this one. The trick was to set webgl to off, "clear background" to no and make the layer transparent. One of these days I should actually learn how mandelbrots actually work.

A 3d object made of sprites, subdivided in real time.

That should be the default reference for the "not powerful enough" threads.

I disagree partially. Sure you can do any algorithm in C2, but it's by no means fast enough for something like this on my PC. Also with me staying with bundled plugins it ended up being more tedious to work with than it could be.

We need to crowdfund you a decent pc.

Good idea ^^ Could try patreon :p.

I did another one:

Levenshtein distance

capx

I did not use any optimization. Thought of it because of the following topic:

Also:

Middle 3 digits

capx

Knuth Shuffle

.capx

simple but useful

This. Paster, Canvas, Chipmunk, plus all the awesome capx's you've shared over the years...we really ought give something back.

Proper Divisors

.capx

Might need to do scheduling if one would want to know the integers with the most divisors over 1:50000 I think, else the app possibly hangs (tried 1:200.000 sucessfully though).

I tried first generating prim factors and then by combining them calculate all the proper divisors, but my code ended up being slower, so I ditched it.
