  I would go with something like

  array count

  BUT

  this is rougher than I feel after a night out and this is not finished - it needs to checks the last number sent - probably the cheapest way would be to force a number at the end that is never going to normally be there...(which I have done here in a very elegant way <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle"> )

  I expect there is a much better way - but its a start if no one else comes along...

  Both Newt and LittleStain are two of the most helpful people you will find on any forum. They both know a heck of a lot more about C2 programming than I do.

  I don't know if the particle collision was never intended to be there and has now been removed or if there is just some bug that has come to life - I hope it is just a bug but then again if particles can be speeded up/ generally improved by removing collisions then that would probably be for the better (after all their main purpose is visual effect).

  I do know that sometime it is difficult to sometimes get ideas, meaning and intent across in a written forum.

  sprite (square) loops through its frames (colours) on collision with particles.[

  pin the square to a separate sprite and as you rotate the sprite your square will rotate around it.

  Are you thinking that solid should stop one solid crossing through another solid object?

  Without seeing your capx I can't say where you are going wrong but have a look at the ghost shooter (tutorial demo) that comes with construct 2 - sounds like that should contain just what you are after. (also see the tutorial that it is based on)

  Just re-install construct2 and it should bring everything back.

  is it still called name.capx.autosave or have you removed the .autosave ? If you have not - do so (but be carefull that you don't overwrite anything you want to keep - might be a good idea to rename it to name.autosave.capx) and try again.

  edit (14:30 12/01/2014)

  <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> before posting the above I thought I would just check and make sure that you needed to remove the .autosave extension - what I didn't do was to update construct 2 (this laptop is (was) running version 141 !) surprisingly construct 141 was not interested in loading files ending in .autosave but was happier about .capx (still had problems but that was due to version numbers). Anyway sorry about that. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  another idea - assuming you have only vertical and horizontal blocks - just check see if ball angle is 0,90,180 or 270 and if so alter it a bit ?

  (but I would still only run this check "once in a while" not every frame)
