  In construct 2, preview was possible with nwjs.

  In C3 preview with nwjs is also possible, you need to install the Desktop app:

  It's not possible to write files from a browser game due to security restrictions. You can only invoke download a file using Browser plugin.

  With free project file names, you could load "level"&variable.

  This is possible. Instead of Request Project File use Request URL. In URL field put "level"&variable&".json"

  Check out this demo:

  howtoconstructdemos.com/search-for-a-text-in-a-large-list-by-typing-first-letters-capx

  Lists and other Form Control objects (TextInput, Button, ProgressBar etc.) are difficult to style. You may be able to change some properties with CSS, but the possibilities are limited. There are other issues with them form controls (for example, they are drawn on top of everything else on the screen, they may "steal" keyboard and mouse events etc.), so they are not suitable for most games.

  width:sprite_font_story.TextWidth

  height:len(sprite_font_story.Text)

  TextWidth returns the width of text in Text/Spritefont object. Setting width to TextWidth will have no effect.

  And len() expression returns the number of characters. Setting object height (in pixels) to the number of characters makes absolutely no sense.

  .

  Simply make the SpriteFont object large enough in layout editor to fit the largest chapter.

  Construct doesn't allow to access variables by their string name. It's only possible via scripting.

  You should use a bunch of events like these:

  Compare variable ChapterNameVariable="Chapter1" Text Set text to Chapter1
  Compare variable ChapterNameVariable="Chapter2" Text Set text to Chapter2
  .....
  

  But a much better solution is to use a dictionary. Create a new Dictionary file with texts for each chapter. Then you'll be able to access dictionary keys using these expressions:

  Dictionary.Get("Chapter1")

  or

  Dictionary.Get(ChapterNameVariable)

  You can set the world gravity to 0, then all objects will have no gravity. Or change density of an individual object to 0.

  Set Origin at Top-Left and simply subtract canvas position from mouse coordinates. For example, if canvas is at 200:300, and mouse cursor is at 250:330, draw at 50:30
