You could look at the plugins Polygon or Canvas to do what you're asking.

With it off the canvas isn't cleared so you'll have no transparency. First an foremost get something working and then you can look for shortcuts and speedups.

A search for "maze generator" will yield some useful topics.

Here are some:

You could use the canvas plugin like tulamide said, but yes it would be pretty slow as looping over all the pixels of an image in general is a slow thing to do without a gpu shader.

You can take a snapshot with a transparent background. You just need to set the bottom layer to be transparent.

Here's my test: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples20/snapshot_transparent.capx

To make a function to call later use a "start of layout" with the "execute javascript" action in the browser object. You will have to rewrite the first line of your function like this so you can call it later:
this.getHashFromUrl = function()

Then you can call it later with another "execute javascript" action like this:

this.getHashFromUrl()

Be warned that it may not work with a minified export. Also in general it is probably preferred to just make a plugin.

PM me the cap file I'll see if I can repair it. I made a python library called capreader that reads cap files and it can be used to debug them.

It could be useful though if the array rounded instead of floored values to integers. Although that may lead to other math issues in other situations...

Hi, I got it working so that the eggs stay a certain time delay behind the player.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples20/yoshi_eggs_time.capx

I changed a few things to get it to work. First in addition to x and y I also save the time. This is so I can find the saved position just before and after a certain time. If the first egg would is half a second behind the player then I would find the positions closest to time-0.5. After that I can then interpolate between the positions with lerp. The send thing I change from the original is add to the front of the array instead of the back so I could trim off the excess with a set size.

You could just use a canvas that's only 1 pixel high, paste to that and then stretch it to the bottom of the screen.

Ex.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples20/laser_blit_canvas.capx

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples20/laser_blit_paster.capx

The events look pretty much identical from canvas to paster.

Now that I'm wide awake and not on my phone I did some tests. I'm pretty sure you'd have to use round() in CC as well. And as far as being just integer values cos(270) is not exactly 0 in either C2 or CC.

If you set some text to cos(270) you'll get 0, but that's because C2 does some rounding to give you prettier numbers for display. If you set the text to str(cos(270)) you'll bypass the pretty rounding and get -1.8369701987210297e-16.

Probably the rounding issue is due to how the expression is converted to an integer. Which likely is the equivalent to int(expression).

Couldn't you also just use round(mouse.x/cell)*cell

Unfortunately the html object only supports basic html for the purpose of formatted text.

You can do it with python though. Take the example in this post:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic80786_post473862.html#473862

and change the line
image= ...

to

image="www.google.com"

Viola! you now have ie embedded in your window.

You can do quite a lot with the winapi but you'll have to dig around the documentation:
