  Have you looked at the rotating platformer example shipped with Construct2?

  one way to only select one is to first deselect all..

  sprite on touched

  (sub) system pick all sprite

  sprite set selected to false

  (sub)

  sprite set selected to true

  where both subevents are on the same level..

  the first subevent will select all and set them to false,

  the second will still reference the touched sprite..

  Not very consistent..

  In event 1 you use layer2

  in event 3 in the first line you don't add a layer to your touch

  and in the third line you use layer1

  You can use touch.X("layer"), touch.y("layer")..

  (Mouse.X("layer") if you use the mouse instead of touch)

  where you replace "layer" by the layername the wheel is on..

  That should solve it..

  Put the boat on a layer with parallax 100,100 and give it scrollto behaviour.

  Put the wheel on a layer with parallax 0,0.

  I don't think it should be that hard adjusting the auto-runner template shipped with Construct..

  Or are your needs different?

  Something like this?

  Random fly-movement

  It's just these events:

  

  If you want it less drastic, you could always just set an instance variable instead of changing the angle directly and rotate 1 degrees towards it if the current angle is not between -1 and +1 of the new angle..

  I mean stretch the layer in one direction.

  Although stretching layouts/layers is not supported (I wouldn't recommend it for it changes the look and the feel of your game entirely), Most objects support it (tiled-background and tilemaps excluded) and as such creating a function to do it should be entirely possible..

  As explained in this tutorial:

  how to use the localstorage plugin:

  In your on start of layout add an actiont to check if local storage item exists

  add a new event to your event sheet:

  local storage on item exist:

  array load : localstorage.itemvalue

  As far as I know you don't need a step inbetween..

  When clicking/touching collision is detected for all objects under your touch/mouse..

  If you want only the top instance to react:

  on lightbulb touched/clicked

  lightbulb pick top (instance)

  add your actions

  Why would you have to resize everything?

  Construct2 does a great job at scaling..

  Targetting different screensizes will always be some (and usually a lot of) work, especially with mobile screens switching from portrait to landscape so easily..

  It might be my limited imagination, but what is the benefit of using the physics behaviour on a top-down game?

  As a tank can only move forward in the direction it is facing, you could probably incorporate that in your events..
