  Search the forum, many people have asked this. You either need a php script on your web server which will send emails:

  construct.net/en/tutorials/sending-an-email-from-construct2-1068

  or use a service like this.

  On every tick: Set scroll x to lerp(scrollx, 3616, 4*dt)

  Same with the Y scroll.

  You can change the last value 4*dt to make it faster or slower.

  You can easily make it with Form Control objects - TextInput, Button, List etc.

  The big question is where do you want to send the data entered in the form?

  Let's say an object B is pinned to object A.

  You can also use Object.Pin.PinnedUID expression

  SpriteA pick by unique ID (SpriteB.Pin.PinnedUID)

  It depends on the game. You can use Bullet, but it won't be accurate.

  If you need precise grid-based movement, use MoveTo behavior or TileMovement (as in my demo).

  You can do this with AJAX and Binary Data.

  AJAX Set Response Binary
  AJAX Request imageURL
  Wait for previous action to complete
  

  The base64 string will be available in BinaryData.GetBase64 expression.

  Canvas resolution depends on window size and other factors, it will always be different from the object size. (And different for each user!) See the documentation:

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/drawing-canvas

  If you need the resulting PNG to be exactly 500x500 px, you will need to resize the canvas first. For example, in your case I think the canvas size needs to be ~ 419x419 px. Use DrawingCanvas.PixelScale expression to calculate the canvas object size, then draw the image on it, then save the PNG.

  Check out this demo:

  howtoconstructdemos.com/push-objects-in-tile-based-game-sokoban-style

  It's a bit advanced, there may be an easier way to do it, if you don't need to snap objects to grid.

  AT START, for each tile set CX2 and CY2 based on the x,y value of each tile.

  Tilemap is a single object, you can't set different variable values for individual tiles, only to the entire tilemap.

  If you need to store some values per each tile, this is usually done with a 2D or 3D array.

  Not sure what you mean. Touch.x/y will return 0 if you are not touching the screen.

  Expressions Tilemap.PositionToTileX/Y convert layout coordinates to tile number. There are a few other useful expressions, check out the documentation.

  Is there any reason why you are using a grid of sprites and not a tilemap? Tilemap would be massively better for performance, easier to update and save, the save file will be much smaller etc.

  If you must to use the sprites, try hierarchy instead of Pin behavior. It may be faster and you won't have to pin/unpin all the time. Another option is to scroll a layer with the sprites, this way you won't have to pin anything at all.
