  You are right, I never noticed that there are 3 kings of clubs. It's because the deck size is 52 cards, not 54.

  also a bunch of 1 of cards is a lot different than some cards being played at 4, some being at 3, some being at 2, some at 1.

  Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this.

  Check out this demo, it's quite old but may give you some ideas:

  One other issue I noticed - someone tagged me in a new post, but I didn't receive a notification.

  So you have one instance of the object Deck with many instance variables in it representing cards?

  Why not create many instances of Card object? It will be much easier to work with them, even if you don't need to display cards on the screen. You can add variables like isDrawn, isPlaying, cardValue and so on, pick cards, count them, filter, destroy etc.

  It's easy to do with meshes:

  If all moves are made with different animations, then yes, I would play a "grab" animation on one character, and pin the second character to an image point in the "grab" animation (hands of the first character).

  I'm not sure about physics. If you are not using Physics in the game, then it's better to do the throwing part with some other behavior, like bullet with gravity.

  The new notification system has the same problem as the old one - the bell icon is active and says that I have two unread notifications, when in fact there are none.

  Many object's events in Construct can pick instances. For example "Is visible", "Is on screen", "Compare X", "Compare instance vairiable" etc. And there are additional System events for picking.

  So if you have an instance variable ID on the sprite, you can use "Sprite Compare variable ID=5" to pick, or "System Pick by comparison". But the first method is simpler, and it makes the event sheet easier to read.

  There is a simple way to display multiple random images from which only one one is correct. Here is a demo:

  Try exporting a different project, for example one of the built-in templates. Try a different browser. If the error is the same, it may be with Construct build service.

  c3p file is actually a ZIP archive. Try renaming it to .zip and extracting the files. If the archive is corrupted, you can try fixing it, but the chances that the project will work after that are pretty low.

  Third action "Move ang pixels" is wrong, it should be "Move loopindex*(Link.Width-4) pixels at ang"

  Try this code:

  Gamepad Compare axis < -50 : Sprite set mirrored
  
  Gamepad Compare axis > 50 : Sprite set not mirrored

  Yeah, this would be pretty useful.

  Allow functions to be moved to another layout

  Press Ctrl-X to cut the function to clipboard, then press Ctrl-V to paste it to another event sheet. It will be pasted with its original name, and all calls of this function will be restored.
