  In particular look at the system Save, Load, and Load from Json.

  It basically loads from the state of game at that point in time, which is sort of what you are asking for.

  Aside from assets there's no Construct files like that.

  Unless you stuck the Nwjs files in there.

  And there's no way you could get a config file to that size, unless you have some unrealistic expectation of what can be put in variables, or events. I mean you would be talking about events in the hundreds of thousands.

  Probably, but if you saved as a project folder it might negate that.

  I mean the c3p file could easily get to over 100. If that's what you mean.

  We need a better name for project folders...

  The Scirra version is a bit weird.

  I suppose if you left it as default, and gave it a setting to ignore diagonals it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

  That or add the ability to do diags to the controls. Optionally of course.

  I just noticed the Tile Movement behavior will go in diagonals when you use Set Grid Position(animate)

  That doesn't seem right since the controls don't allow that behavior.

  Should that be changed, or a least have a setting to ignore diags?

  They could maybe add peoples social links, Twitter, Facebook, etc. to their post. Like under the avatar.

  That way you choose if you wish to be contacted, and Scirra doesn't have to take the responsibility for private messages.

  It's all there, just take a look at the example, and visit momentjs.com

  Well the objects could be moving in any direction. Although in practice this probably not be the norm.

  The yellow lines indicate the parallel lines at the time the angle() (redline) was taken.

  The yellow lines would be the axis, or slope where other objects would be created.

  Then their angles would be set to the offset of the other objects axis. A perpendicular of the parallels.

  This also lets projectiles go toward the object, but not to it.

  Possible ai to get behind the object.

  But yeah, looks like the sin cos method would be best.

  Thanks guys.

  #5 is something we've never been able to do without hacky blend modes with masks.

  It's something that I've needed to do several times.

  It's like the undo button.

  The line circled in blue.

  

  The premise is that projectiles at the same angle, and the same time will be at the same point, and overlap.

  Ok look at it another way.

  You have two objects that form two parallel lines, or slopes when you get the angle between the two.

  An axis of points for each.

  Suppose one object goes up or down its axis/slope, then angle() would change.

  How would I get the new angle for the few pixels difference?

  I mean in theory I could cast the new points using trig, and angle() from those points but that seems like overkill.

  Not quite. That's almost perpendicular.

  May have to go at it a different way.

  The second object would be in motion as well.

  So I may have to think in terms of its angle.
