  fukairi - well, timers are easy once you understand them. Make a global variable HeartTimer=0 and Every Tick->add dt to HeartTimer. This will keep track of game time. Keep track of when you've collected all the heart pieces and compare HeartTimer to the time goal.

  You can have one sprite for heart and give it a few different animations depending on how many heart pieces are collected.

  Gropwel - so, if you have Sprite1->on collision with another object->Sprite2 and Sprite1 or Sprite2 = dodging, then disable collisions. Does that work or does that mess up your floor detection?

  Yeah, you can use a For Each loop to check if an object is within an area by checking X and Y coordinates or overlapping, and add +1 to variable. If you have similar objects in a Family, that would allow fewer loops.

  Well, there is probably an easier way, but you can just do 2 Repeat loops using array.width and array.height as the number of iterations. Use some local variables to keep track of the coordinates (i.e. x, y) In the inner loop, test if Array.At(x,y) = Player. If so, stop loop and there you go.

  a small update.. i tried to use Array.At(1) and got an error.. thinking i could access "Joke2" by calling on (1).

  You use Add Event to Compare Array spots.

  You use Add Action to Set Array spots.

  You can use Array.At(x,y,z) to access array data in events or actions.

  So, for your text object, you could do text->set text->Array.at(1) to set the text to whatever data is in array spot 1.

  Does that help at all?

  resvi - have you used the debugger to see if the values are changing to anything? Also, is it possible that twtuserid, twtname and twtimageurl really don't have anything? (i.e. the Browser.QueryParam gets nothing back)

  dude you are creating tons of apps/games i don't even created one!

  Thanks, but they aren't anything special. I'm just doing my part to saturate marketplaces with low-end products to keep the public's expectations lower. It's the American way.

  Sorry, example below.

  On Project Properties, I set First Layout = Layout 1. On esGeneral, I added "Move to Top Layer" for each piece, so:

  Every Tick:

  C->Set Position

  C->Move to Top

  A->Set Pos

  A-> Move Top

  B->Set Pos

  B->Move Top

  And it works like you want.

  Sorry, I guess I'm a little confused. Either you have the sprite objects already in the layout and Z-order will be preserved, or you load up the sprite objects using Create Object and based upon order of creation, the Z-order is preserved. So, I guess I'm not getting what you mean.

  Might be more useful on the pc, with a copy to clipboard option

  Yeah, I agree. It is pretty simple. No bells and whistles (i.e. useful features, lol).

  I threw it together in an hour just to get a project done, since I was starting to hate the other app I was working on.

  part12studios - I don't think you have the right syntax there. For arrays, the X, Y, and Z represent the 1D, 2D, and 3D coordinates for the array. In C2, you want to specify your array size and you always do this in X, Y, Z terms. So, even if you have a simple array of 10 items (i.e., you only need the X-coord), you still specify the size as (10,1,1).

  If you had a 2D array of 5x2, then size = (5,2,1).

  You would not need two files for your jokes and punchlines, unless you wanted to. I would just put joke, punchline, joke, punchline in a 2D array and access the jokes and punchlines with [x,y] coordinates.

  Joke 1 = [0,0]

  Joke 1 punchline = [0,1]

  Joke 2 = [1,0]

  Joke 2 punchline = [1,1]

  I'm guessing the 13,6,1 is the array size for x,y,z.

  I haven't tried this out yet, but I came across this old blog post here: http://ericterpstra.com/2012/11/construct-2-html5-mobile-game-turkey-trot-of-doom/

  On that page, the author has a link for CAPX with accelerometer controls. You could look at that for ideas. Again, I'm not sure if that code is out-dated.

  nchima - hmm, I don't have any experience with line of sight behavior, but the first thing I would do is update your C2 to newest version.

  Thank you! I'm going to try!

  Yeah, I've had success with Browser-> On Mobile Back Button Pressed, then do Action Browser->Close (if the user pushes the physical device button) or you can use the same Action Browser-> Close if user touches your EXIT button object.
