  It can be helpful to arrange all of the tiles around the edge of the layout - each set to a different frame. It takes a while to set up 144 of them but it makes level building easier because you can easily find the one you're looking for and CTRL-drag to copy it onto the layout.

  Select the snailEnemyBox, click Create Container on the left under properties, add the snail sprite to the container. Now when you pick the snailEnemyBox, the snail is picked as well. That will make the snails mirror correctly and when you destroy the box the snail will be destroyed too.

  Nah it's not bugged. It's just the flash will never end because you're restarting it every tick while CollidingAsteroid = 1.

  You'll need to mirror the hitbox if the player is mirrored.

  Here I fixed up that xml tag: Fresen.capx

  You should set up C2 to make regular backups if you haven't already.

  You have a lot of repetition going on there. Both Odd and Even functions can be reduced to 2 events.

  You can style the text box with css. Edit your index.html and add

  input[type="text"] { background: transparent; border: none;}
  

  to the style section.

  <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8367729/construct/pics/textboxCSS.PNG" border="0" />

  That will change all text boxes. You can also give the text box an ID in the editor to style individual boxes.

  *edit*

  You can set the css style directly in the editor with the 'TextBox: Set CSS style' action.

  milleradamt It's a 7-zip file. You have to extract it and put the extracted folder in your plugins folder.

  Nice. Do you know what the numbers under the high scores mean? Like -492 slower, 8 quicker, etc.

  XManBG It does run exactly 11 times... every time you run that event. If you have it run on key press then it will loop 11 times when you press the key. If you have it running every tick then it will loop 11 times every tick.

  All you need is to give the laserbeams and switches matching id variables and then have 'for each laserbeam', pick matching laserswitch, do your thing. I ended up making a few other changes though.

  It used to be the case that if the player wasn't moving when 'on jump' triggered then 'is moving' would be false. That was true when that tutorial was written but not anymore. Now 'is moving' is always true when 'on jump' triggers so you should ignore the moving/not moving part and just put

  on jump -> set animation to ...
