  Hello! I hadn't done a game in a while.

  This is Gumball Catch:

  https://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/gumball-catch-60069/play

  The objective is to catch the falling gumballs with the cup while avoiding the bombs. Use you mouse to drag the cup left or right.

  I published this for mobile way back in 2017 or so in the Apple app store. Despite its simplicity, it's my app that got the most downloads.

  Regards,

  Phanamanaman

  Found it, offsetting the pointer. Thanks!

  Hello -

  How do I rotate an object off-center? For example, swing a bat, flip a pinball flipper, open a door or gate (top view). No animations - just rotate something off-center.

  Thanks, regards!

  PS - go play one of my games!

  Hello - thanks for the reply! I just moved it to earlier in the code, and it works.

  Hello -

  I have 40 enemies onscreen at the start of the layout. When I destroy the first one, it is in fact destroyed, but the enemy.count does not decrease. When I destroy the second one, it then decreases by one, so my enemy count is always +1. There are no enemies offscreen. There are no accidental duplicates (one exactly overlapping another). Any ideas? Thanks, regards.

  Thanks - I've been playing around a bit since the original post. This will help for something else.

  I believe I should say that I want the camera to look at the initial layout, but at x - 200 (or like a starting position of (-200,0). Regards!

  Hello -

  I have a project which would be easier to change the camera or view size than restructuring the whole layout to another aspect ratio.

  How do I go about doing so, if possible? thanks, regards.

  Hello -

  After a little kerfuffle with my file properties, Lunar Runner is now up at the arcade!

  Run around the Moon while avoiding the approaching alien by tapping the Z key. Be careful timing your jumps! The alien will accelerate continuously.

  Have fun!

  Have you choose the correct First Layout in Startup of the Project Properties.

  No -= I did, and now it works! Much obliged. Although it makes me wonder how I did the first game - I might have done the game scene as the first scene and then do the others...

  Thanks again!

  Hello -

  Firstly, Merry Christmas! My gift to you was to upload a game to the arcade today, but it's not working correctly when uploaded - the game goes directly into a scene (I presume the game scene, but not loading correctly) instead of the splash (intro) scene.

  Thinking it was something I did wrong, I uploaded an update, but it's doing the exact same thing. The player and alien actors are not spawning, and the moon is spinning; this is not the expected behavior. Here's the link in case you'd like to see the problem.

  Thanks,
