  One of the things the new scripting feature allows for is to load WebAssembly modules, which effectively let's you leverage a ton of existing C/C++ code in the browser, with almost native efficiency.

  You can see how it is done in the Loading external script and WebAssembly example, found in the Scripting section of the Start Page when you open C3.

  Asides from that you can look into https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly for how to get started compiling existing C/C++ code into WebAssembly. Of course, C/C++ is the most prominent example, but you can find other languages that can be compiled to WebAssembly if you poke around the internet a little bit.

  If Construct 3 works for you and you think it's the best, just use it. There is no point in worrying about popularity of the tool. It sure is working for us over here at Scirra!

  As for missing/requested features, what can I say? We work on the tool day in and day out :P

  Having said that, it is ok to ask for more and better things, but at one point you need to work with what you got to get things done.

  Looks like a bug, must be something introduced in the latest version of chromium, as it is also affecting Edge. Firefox seems to be fine.

  I think I already fixed it, but need to try it a little bit more. Thanks for bringing it up!

  I am not able to reproduce this issue. Have you tried updating your graphics card driver to the latest version?

  What operating system are you using?

  I did a small modification that I think will improve the resizing. It will be available in the next beta, so try it out when it becomes available!

  Have you tried using the Smooth checkbox in the resize dialog?

  Keeping it disabled is better for pixel art with clearly defined edges. Enabling it is better for images with smooth color transitions.

  What is exactly you are trying to achieve? I can think of a couple of different cases

  1) If you just want to play the animation as the timeline modifies the X and Y properties you can just play the animation independently of what the timeline is doing.

  2) If you want to change the animation frames in relation to the progress of the timeline you could cook something up using the Progress expression of the the Timeline plugin and the AnimationFrameCount expression of the Sprite plugin.

  Something like this:

  	floor(Timeline.Progress("name_or_tags_of_your_timeline") * Sprite.AnimationFrameCount)
  

  That should give you the frame index as a timeline progresses.

  3) If you want to set a specific frame as keyframes are reached, you might want to look into keyframe tagging. Those conditions are only triggered when the playhead of a timeline reaches a keyframe.

  Setting the time scale to 0 will effectively pause a lot of things in a layout, but not everything. In your case, even if the time scale is 0, the "Every Tick" event is still being executed every tick.

  Try putting the events that you want to pause into a group and deactivate that group in the same event you set the time scale to 0. When you set the time scale back to 1 remember to enable the group again.

  That should work.

  Have you tried checking for "greater or equal" instead of just "equal"?

  In your example if the SCORE variable goes over 2, without actually having the value of 2, the condition will never be met.

  I second plinkie's answer.

  You can have all your messages in an array and use the counting variable to retrieve a position in the array.

  Here is an example dropbox.com/s/7vrhnmhcuu1tq9m/example.c3p

  Turns out it was an edge case, that I hadn't even though about. It will be fixed by the next beta.

  This looks like a legit crash.

  Saving the state of timelines is a fairly new feature, was just added in r174.

  There is no built in way to modify layout values with neither tweens nor timelines.

  You'll have to take the longer route for that, a value tween should do the trick for you. Set it up, and as the tween plays, assign it's value to the layout property you are interested in.

  Swampa Studio

  I just fixed this issue. Tried it out with your project and everything seems to be working just fine.

  A patch should be coming out soon for the latest stable release to fix this and a few other issues.
