  As far as I know, there is no way to attach files directly here.

  If you don't have a dead-zone in the center of the paddle where the ball bounces naturally, then you don't need this action - "set a to a>1 ? a-1 : (a<-1 ? a+1 : 0)", you can remove it.

  To change how the ball bounces off when hitting different parts of the paddle you can experiment with these values:

  Set a to clamp(a/2, -45, 45)

  There is an extra comma after class_04 in your JSON string. You can use any online JSON validation tool to test.

  If you remove the comma, then it works fine:

  Glad it worked! How exactly do you want to improve it? And can you share your current code?

  Because I used an object for the classes instead of an array.

  It should've still worked - you should be able to access the first class name using Get(".name") in For Each entry in "classes" loop.

  Use Brush tool, set large brush size, very small Hardness and select "Smooth" on the panel at the top.

  Ah, sorry, you are right - if you have card names as dictionary keys, then your code is correct.

  If it isn't working, my guess is that you are not picking Cards instance. There should be a parent event which picks one Cards instance, for example, a clicked card. Or if you want to process all cards, put these events inside the "For each Cards" loop.

  ObjectTypeName returns object name (a string), it can't be 0 or 1.

  You need to explain what you are trying to do.

  Objects on layout are always reset to their initial state, unless you use Persist behavior.

  You can save the image in Local Storage. Here is an example which saves an image from DrawingCanvas:

  Yeah, relative path Get(".name") should work inside of For Each Entry in "classes" loop.

  Try Browser Log Data.Path, see what it outputs.

  I also recommend this little project, it shows paths to all keys in JSON:

  I realized I mixed up pinball and arkanoid :)

  Yeah, for an arkanoid game I would probably use Bullet behavior.

  Have you seen the "Pinball" example in C3? I think ball physics there is pretty good.

  Not sure if I understand the problem, but can't you just use "Pick nearest Item" condition?

  Item on layer HUD
  Item pick nearest to (SelectionDevice.x, SelectionDevice.y)
