  Use the "Clear Array with 0" action after you re-size the array. 96 is the initial y size of your array, it seems that when you make the array bigger the new array cell don't have a value.

  n Construct Classic this works as I think it should, but in C2 something is wrong.

  This:

  t seems to detect overlap when it's simply against.

  In C2 objects in contact count as overlapping, in CC they don't.

  So you are understanding how "overlapping at offset" works, it's just what counts as a overlap that is different.

  I'm pretty sure C2 does the conversion internally so it doesn't matter if the angle given by angle() is -40, 320, -400, 680... etc.

  Here is my test:

  Yann made an example of how to make sliders here:

  And isn't there a shader that allows you to color sprites?

  I didn't open your cap but with global variables use global('X2') instead of the shorthand 'X2', which only works for private variables.

  It shouldn't be necessary to make the angle be in the range of [0,360). Using just Angle(X1,Y1,X2,Y2) should be enough.

  Your events should look like this:

  I didn't take a look at your capx but here is a example that you can compare against:

  Sully's solution will work, but give the score a bias so that the first car to pass the first checkpoint will have a score of 1.5, the second 1.4 and so forth. No two cars can now have the same score. Discard the decimal portion of the score every time you hit a checkpoint as it's only to indicate the order the checkpoint was hit. The formula looks like this:

  set score to int(self.Score)+1+0.1*(5-Checkpoint.hit_count)

  It shouldn't matter if two cars hit the finish line in the same tick, the winner will be whichever car is processed first and I don't think a player will even notice.

  1) 100 is the speed to move and the angle is the direction.

  The formula is a conversion to horizontal and vertical motion.

  http://www.teacherschoice.com.au/maths_library/coordinates/polar_-_rectangular_conversion.htm

  2) dt is the amount of time that the current frame is taking. In the example dt is used for time in this simple formula:

  speed * time = distance

  More info about dt:http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/67/delta-time-and-framerate-independence

  3) I'm not quite sure what you're asking, "set x" and "set y" are actions not conditions. The rest of it is just a formula.

  Your event will work fine when there is only one enemy with destroyed=0. If there is more than one enemy with destroyed=0 then only the last created gem and gemcollide will get modified. This is because create/spawn actions pick only the object being created.

  The solution is to handle the enemies one at a time by adding a "for each enemy" condition to the bottom of that event.

  All those games you linked are actual 3d games, not "fake 3d".

  Replace the always with a "for each dummy".
