  With a 2d array push() only sets Array.At(Array.Width-1, 0). You have to set the values at Array.At(Array.Width-1, 1), Array.At(Array.Width-1, 2), etc... manually with other actions.

  So a 2d array could be used to store the data, all that's left is to implement a way to sort it.

  That's not a sinewave, but here's an example that behaves like your diagram:

  Here's a bubble shooter test that I made a while back:

  uc716a5a902ca5408db502641003.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/CiH68rIp8oMpaXcp8BLuZxoFssDbpRmbGoTO4ThYyEbehEdpRESD6vJSLSFxc_wqlNDjzu9TKw2EyxeJHZRV-kzJKjYHVjW0WcHQBPnl8EWNDOKQ9j6sl232EPk2ED3R_3g/file

  It's not complete but it does have the motion, snapping to grid and locating unconnected bubbles implemented.

  Here's a solution:

  I don't know if it's a better solution than yours since it wasn't posted.

  It's probably just a graphics card driver issue. Try updating it.

  Use mid(), the position is zero based so to get the first digit use:

  mid(Text.Text, 0, 1)

  second:

  mid(Text.Text, 1, 1)

  third:

  mid(Text.Text, 2, 1)

  Here is an example that predicts the path of a projectile. It also calculates a speed/angle to shoot so that the projectile path passes over the mouse position. You could alternately just set the speed and angle.

  This one has the math to take into account linear damping:

  procrastinator that's pretty cool, I hadn't thought of doing a checkered floor like that. That would be a good method to use for mobile games since it keeps the object count low.

  In other news I managed to get mode7 into a shader for platforms with webgl:

  This allows for a texture transform like in mario cart.

  Effect:

  To install extract to your "Construct2\effects" folder.

  Example capx:

  Disclaimer:

  While this can do a mode7 type transformation, it is very hard to use. I've also abandoned support for it.

  I found a good explanation on the math used for mode7 here:

  http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/24957/doing-an-snes-mode-7-affine-transform-effect-in-pygame

  Here's a capx of it in action:

  EDIT: and one with a texture:

  retrodude I did something similar before but with vertical slices. I sliced the image in construct by using the "import sprite strip" function in the image editor.

  If you slice an image into horizontal slices you can position and scale each slice independently allowing for shear and taper effects. The drawback is a high object count.

  Max size is doable by using clamp() on the action in event 4 to set the sprite size. Snapping to sizes in increments of say 32 is also doable with round(width/32)*32. Snapping handles to arbitrary positions would be a lot more complex mathematically.

  Do a system compare:

  Text.Text = str(int(Text.Text))

  I used that site as a reference a while back to make a example in Construct Classic.
