  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.

  If you figure out how to make a single one move the way you want it to, then you can make a group or line of them as well by applying the same movement with a time delay between spawning each instance. Try every x seconds or use the timer behavior.

  Per the manual

  int(x)

  Convert the float or text x to an integer (whole number). If x is text, non-numeric characters are allowed after the number, but not before. For example int("33xx") returns 33, but int("xx33") returns 0.

  Get rid of the $ with replace or tokenat.

  The Ajax plugin will generally allow you to utilize website apis. You can also include JavaScript libraries.

  If you can get a number as a string, you can definitely convert it to an integer or float.

  They're in an indexeddb in the os's local data/appdata folder. I believe it should be in a folder with the name of your executable, but I'm not sure.

  Updates should not affect the save (Unless the name of your app changes? Could use confirmation.) You can also manually store and retrieve as a json string if you want, to a destination of your choice.

  Can't you bundle the plugin into your project file save now? Or am I remembering wrong... I don't normally use plugins.
