  Just curious... When would you use this?

  Every tick, add dt to the timer. That will give a nice timer that increases once per second.

  I'd steer away from using 'every X seconds' for this type of thing. I think it's safer to use a timer.

  Regarding your second request, what you are looking for is the 'Containers' feature, very commonly requested (It was in CC)

  A way to work around this is to give all the 'child' objects an instance variable called 'ParentUID' or something, which is set to the parent's UID at the start of layout. Then, when you want to pick the child of certain parent, you can pick the parent with that UID.

  In terms of attaching them together, image points are probably the best option ATM.

  Most people use WebStorage to save data like this...

  If I am being ignorant, sorry, I don't know much about this web tech stuff :P

  Found construct 2 by this process...

  School computer class > Game Maker > Hey, I want to make my own games! > Game maker ***** > Look for new game creators for a while > Construct 2 > Epic win.

  First impressions of event sheet? Why did I use Game Maker this whole time?!?! Also, why has nobody came up with anything like this?

  If I had to 'note' C2... I assume you mean 'vote'. I would say 10 / pi.

  Think about the fact that every image has to be loaded into RAM...

  Have you followed the beginner's tutorial and the Platform game tutorial? Simple concepts like this can be easily learned through following these tutorials.

  Also, not sure what you mean by 'library'. This isn't GameMaker, every sprite has its own image library, if you will, in its animations.

  Aridale is correct, choice one should work fine. You should keep to the same layout.

  Ragevortex, that will be pretty simple, you just need to find the touch.X and touch.Y when you first press, then find the same when you release. Put that in angle() and Bob's your uncle.

  Your best bet at the moment is to use cocoonjs.

  You'll probably want to post this on ludei's forum.

  I really cannot think of a place where 'create object by name' would be useful enough to warrant these security flaws. We have aniamtions and frames - shouldn't this be enough?
