  You don't need to duplicate events sheets for every level/layout. You should use a single events sheet and just track the level stuff separately. Just keep a global variable with the level number and append this to the HighScore tag when using WebStorage.

  The immediate problem is you didn't change the 'Add 1 to CutObjects" action. (Should have been CutObjects2).

  Maybe see how it behaves with this test page: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/ ... ester.html

  You would typically use 'Audio.Set paused' to really pause the sound.

  This fixes the picking issue. You'll have to fix the math still for Zindex.

  You've forced me to think about this, and I've finally figured it out. You can't assume ViewPortLeft is zero.

  You don't need to destroy them on the 'different' layout, as only one layout exists at a time. That is the common mechanism used.

  I've been fighting with this myself. It's because of "Scale inner". The trick I'm using is to reference a sprite Anchored top-left.

  You are mixing ViewPort & Window.

  TextMain.X = (ViewportLeft(0)+ViewportRight(0))/4

  Spine.X = (ViewportLeft(0)+ViewportRight(0))/2

  I see what you mean, but the statement is not actually true. As long as you release the keys at exactly the same time, it does hold it's angle. The problem is if one key is released a fraction of a second later than the other, then it angles toward that key's direction.

  You'd have to roll you own manual control, tracking key latency, and ignoring 'quick' key presses/releases.

  In the Create event put the Layer name in quotes: "HUD". This will work instead of a number.

  You can just spawn sprites with the Fade behaviour.

  You are hitting a known issue with Construct2 where you can not pick in the same top level event after a create. You have to either move your picking code to the next top-level event OR just use a Wait 0 and it will correct itself. I've cleaned things up a bit. There was no need for any 'Trigger once' events. I deactivate the Generate group after it is finished so the code doesn't get called repeatedly. You could also place it in a Function, and just call it once from 'On start of layout'.

  "Paster" may be an option. I just did a sample of mirroring for reflecting (in water). It's a powerful plugin.

  You didn't look at my example. You don't add instance variables, you enter the data into the dictionary.
