  On the weighted randoms, just remembered, and realized: min(int(random(100)),int(random(100)))= a chance out of a 100, or at least a reasonable representation of that.

  Bullet on collision with target add 1 to bullet instance variable "hit"

  ->System repeat bullet instance variable "hit" times, bullet spawn object particle.

  Pretty sure that requires a separate server to send those messages, when an app is off, its off.

  Using 1, or 0 is a Boolean.

  For multiple objects you can try instancing by setting instance variables that way, or if you must have different objects use a family variable.

  Otherwise you could make a behavior, which is a bit of overkill.

  May we please see proof of said licenses, and or any necessary tools need to publish to those platforms?

  Tools, as in the mac machine needed for ios, and obviously legal contracts relating to publishing copyrighted material.

  The keyword here is "draw", C2 doesn't specialize in that, however you can do a dot to dot kind of thing where instances are stretched between nodes.

  The usual method is to set an instances hotspot to the far left, and set its width to distance(node1.x,node1.y,node2.x,node2.y), and then set its angle towards the second node.

  Mouse, touch?

  Those are the objects you use to pick.

  Oh look its a new week already.

  Perhaps you could go the other route, and ask Google to make the process simpler on their end, or heck just ask for your money back from them.

  Try int(tokenAt()), or array's have a condition "contains value".

  I think Gamejolt was experimenting with some autohosting thing for jams.

  Welcome to the weekly native rant.

  The arguments are always the same, and yet the drama always starts out differently.

  Enjoy the show.

  I made an example of the events, and it ran as expected, so there must be something else going on.

  Btw running an array every tick like that is usually considered inefficient.
