  You should make an example, but I think your understanding of the collision polygon, and hotspots may be the issue.

  I could understand an option for C2 imports to mitigate future compatibility issues, but what if something breaks compatibility with C2 imports into C3?

  No more bug fixes, or compatibility updates after a July 2021?

  From now on, Construct 2 will only be maintained with essential bug fixes and compatibility updates.

  They need to keep it at least usable, otherwise people will start asking for refunds.

  On touch start: set Variable x to touch.x

  On touch end:

  ->compare touch x > Variable x: do foo

  ->compare touch x < Variable x: do other foo

  Check out the 8 direction Behavior with default controls turned off.

  1. You would check if the x value is greater or less than the swimmers x and simulate that direction in the behavior.

  2. Simulate the direction s=<- d=->

  3. Use a variable for health. Lots of examples in the help, and tuts section. Use Sprite frames.

  Edit: C2 not C3

  TileMovement Behavior would be better

  Bummer.

  I didn't know that C2 had that ability already built in already. I figured it would need a script added to the index.

  This is relevant as it is a way to run a game on the desktop.

  Since C2 is now discontinued perhaps someone could do a tutorial on how to add a method to make a game into a PWA.

  Nope.

  Globals will stay on the layout where you added it.

  In the event sheet.

  Its layers within a layout.

  Note that to handle larger xSkew values, you may need to increase the transparent areas around the sprite image, otherwise the shadow will clip. This _does_ have performance implications, it creates a larger sprite to render (even if the majority of the added area is transparent.)

  I tried to use it as a layer fx, but it doesn't seem to work that way.
