  Then you would use the On Nth touch start condition, and touch. Xforid(1) and yforid(1) expressions to get the x and y for the second touch.

  Add the system condition pick (ball) by comparison.

  Distance(ball.x,ball.y,bomb.x,.bomb.y)<100

  I do not understand your second question. To create a bomb where the player touches, on touch start - create bomb at touch.x, touch.y. That doesn't have anything to do with moving your player.

  Try 'pin at distance - rope style' with the pin behavior and see if that's what you're looking for.

  Oh so a couple things.

  You don't want to floor that, or it will defeat the purpose of dt, which gives you fractions of seconds. If you floor it, it will go to the next lower whole number no matter what framerate you're running at. Use an intermediate variable to keep track of the actual time, and only floor the displayed time.

  Resetting to 10 when you get to 8 is something else entirely, so you're going to have to look elsewhere.

  dt*your development platform target framerate

  Normally 60.

  Don't design for specific aspect ratios. Design for all of them. construct.net/en/tutorials/supporting-multiple-screen-17

  Either design for the narrowist width and have your layouts wide enough to cover the widest width, or design for the widest width with the assumption that the ends can get cut off for the squarest aspecct ratios.

  Resets to what? Do you have another event writing to the score key somewhere?

  You're saving the current score to local storage every time on player destroyed. You want to do so only if the current score is the highest score.

  Or any other way to smoothly adjust the z elevation from point a to b?

  Thanks for any ideas.

  Lerp (+derivatives) and tween are the go to tools for acquiring any sort of smoothed values between two other values. How exactly to do it will depend on your set up though.

  My shortcut is to take whatever number you had before, and multiply it by dt and your development environment framerate. So ((value)*dt*144).

  To me, Pacman movement would be bullet movement with queued inputs that gets applied at intersections.

  If you're using the grid movement behavior, naturally you'll be restricted to grid steps.

  Ah yes timelines do seem perfectly suited for this, didn't cross my mind since I've never really used them.

  You have many options, including pathfinding, waypoints, tweens, simulated 8direction movement, sine behavior, or any combination of the above. However there is no set guide or tutorial, since only you know how exactly you want your objects to move and path.

  Focus on getting one instance to move the way you want, making a group follow the same path will be trivial.
