  Aphrodite I like that algo you found there. Inspired I found a way to extend it beyond 32 elements. The idea is to use another array of 1's and 0's instead of just a number, and update the array with a simple function to add 1 in binary.

  It looks like counting sums of zero works, but it's also counting the case of none of the numbers added together. That case could be discarded by not using it when loopindex=0.

  Edit:

  Under further tests something seems broken with my capx.

  Edit2:

  Fixed

  Effects only work in paster currently. And unfortunately there isn't a simple way to do a coloring effect in just canvas. Also development of both plugins is currently suspended due to time and procrastination on my part, but they are in working order for what they do now.

  Floodfill is a slow operation as it is so it would make sense it would be slower on android.

  +1 for me as well. I've had situations where it would've been handy to simplify some expressions.

  Construct Classic had it and it's true that it could be done with existing expressions, but the same can be said for lerp, clamp, abs and probably others.

  I also don't agree that it isn't supported everywhere, it can be done in js with just a few comparisons so it would work everywhere. Anyway, it isn't absolutely needed but I imagine it is as easy to add as qarp, cubic and cosp.

  [quote:2o29smuc]- And (the most important part) make it so that when two sprites overlap (for the binary suns in the picture above), the color of the intersection is the background color.

  For that bit you can use the xor blend. Only note the xor blend doesn't work with webgl so you'll need to set webgl to off.

  Instead of just creating circles you could also create lines from circle to circle. The line can be done by rotating and scaling a sprite like in this example:

  I found a capx in my files that may also be of help:

  You don't have to use ie9, you could also use firefox's or chrome's engine as well. That being said you're probably better off using nodeWebkit since it was picked because it has good compatibility and performance. There are other wrappers around the internet you could use to wrap the html5 export of your game as well. It would be a last resort to make your own wrapper in most cases since it would be time consuming and probably require expertise to improve on existing wrappers.

  Sprite instances share the same set of image so if you replace an image it will be replaced for all other instances. One method that's often used is to just add a lot of empty animation frames for the number of images you might use during runtime. Just set the animation frame before the load from url action and be sure the animation speed is 0.

  That being said tiledbg and all these third party plugins can have a unique image per instance.

  When the ball is overlapping the sand can't you set the linear damping higher and when it's not overlapping sand set the linear damping lower?

  EncryptedCow is a ninja, but here is a capx I was going to post with the same idea he mentioned.

  In your capx the main issue is you aren't putting the words into the array.

  Your posted capx is broken (The layout files are missing). I grabbed the art though and made an example of grabbing and throwing.

  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/542 ... throw.capx

  Space is used to grab and once an enemy is grabbed Space+Left or right will throw.

  After adding the sine behavior to the enemies I'm amazed by how enjoyable it is to throw the enemies off the screen.

  Something like this should do it:

  global number speed=0

  every tick

  --- set speed to distance(0,0,Sprite.Physics.VelocityX,Sprite.Physics.VelocityY)

  System: variable speed > 90

  ---- Sprite: Physics: set velocity to Sprite.Physics.VelocityX/speed*90, Sprite.Physics.VelocityY/speed*90
