  Is there still no native Ascii Code > Char and back? R0J0hound - unfortunately the browser-exec functions crash construct now.

  Am trying to make a touch keyboard and thought the most elegant way to make it work would be by animation frame (+65 for Capital letters )

  Where's your game at? Not quite sold on the new site or game list yet - you can't search what's in there. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

  Looking wonderfully retro. Good to see the progress on the movement and the level design from the start to where it is now.

  Keep it up!

  I upped an example -

  

  Press up when you fall to activate 'wings' and slow the fall. I forgot there was a fall-speed variable.

  You can apply vectors to platform objects directly, rather than having to adjust gravity (if other characters in the scene are also using platform behaviour) .

  Have a look in the manual.

  — - You could clamp the velocity of the physics object each tick, so it never went above a certain speed.

  I had a related question - I'm trying to spawn rope-like objects at certain angles, but when you create the joints, the objects are not orientated correctly.

  

  

  It seems to work on your example - I want to have a force at the end of the rope, so a tentacle like object will reach out towards a position. Is it that creating the joints on spawning is causing this?

  This is exactly what I was looking at trying to do. Am building a rope-like thing and it can be spawned at any angle. Since there's not differentiation between local/global in co-ordinates system, trying to figure out limited joints relative to others is a headache!

  Posted image for you

  

  Just a thought, you could set angle/speed of bullet directly - rather than using the bounce function in the bullet behaviour?

  Was wondering if there was a more efficient way of extracting out sums from columns etc. in arrays than looping through and adding the results to another variable?

  Like for example, this like Min, Max, Sumif(s), CountIfs etc?

  Am thinking mostly of stuff like tile based games, or multiplayer stats / scoreboards, where a function like average / max etc. could be super useful .

  demo :

  I just set the Y vector of the platform object to negative jump strength - in this example, it can only be triggered when he's falling . <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  Looking great, the animation on the slime-ball boss is top stuff. Dig the wall bouncing too.

  This will be a game changer, so many other animating tools are prohibitively expensive for someone just starting out that isn't working in a large studio.

  Love the graphical style and the manic pace. Agree with what brushfe said - more slidey - like this real life pig on ice. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  Is this possible?

  Say, seek object 3, then 2, then 1 ?

  I want the path actors to move from point 3 , to 2 and to 1, based on the animation frame of the goal object vs the instance variable of the path-finder object.

  

  Is this possible?

  Sequential path finding ? Point 1, 2, 3 ordered?
