The main way to do coding in Construct is to use events. You can make plugins for Construct 2 in javascript.

Events can be used for algorithm logic as well. I use algorithmic logic in most all my capx.

I could not find any info on OERM.

The standard way to do levels is not to use one giant image but instead use pieces that can be reused in multiple spots on the level.

For the scrolling you could center the screen on the player and always make the player move right.

It's an expression.

Use the system condition "compare two values" and set one value to Sprite.Count and the other to 0.

Here is a puzzle example that may be helpful:

I'd just use a sprite. Tiledbackgrounds and sprites use the same amount of vram. Sprites render a tad slower, but it's insignificant since you are getting 60fps. Plus sprites allow you to rotate/scale/shear/mirror the image easily.

I'd use add a global variable called "class" to store what you picked.

Then change to character's animation depending on if the "class" value is "mage" or "warrior".

From the manual:

http://www.scirra.com/manual/108/array

Use the .At() expression to retrieve values.

So you would use this expression in the set angle action:

Array.At(1,1)

Here's an example:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples12/hexgrid2.cap

The global 'w' defines how many hexagons per side.

The individual hexagon size is defined by the sprite size.

I got the 2d rotation from here:

Try sampling the color of the pixel with the expression rgbaAt(x,y) before flood filling.
