I just realized a small bug. The 'fade out' behavior will always fade out from opacity 100, regardless of the set opacity of the object.

The tools for z-ordering at the moment are quite limited and involve using events to move instances to their correct positions.

I think a more efficient method and a very nice feature would be being able to specify a specific z-index for each object in its properties bar (akin to game maker's 'depth' setting).

I think this gives much greater flexibility.

This game is cool, however one generally ends up resorting to randomness...

On another note, instead of a number, perhaps power can be represented by a bar.

to make it move nice and smoothly, apply this formula to the X value every tick to move it side to side:

(distance from left edge + modifier * sin(time*modifier))

Play around with the modifier values to get it to move faster and / or further.

This is cool... perhaps a hold-to-charge mechanic would be more intuitive?

It seems good, but that is a lot of work (it seems all objects have to be placed by code), and when I have 80 or so objects... And I only get one layer. Perhaps Ashley or Tom could let us know the way it was intended to work...

Look closely at the bounce when the ball hits the top or bottom of the middle wall. It is certainly wrong.

For each object, there is an option to import as many separate animations as you want. Right click in the 'animations' box on the right of your screen when you are in the 'edit animations' window and click 'new animation'. Now you have the capability to add as many animations as you want for a single object.

These animations can be changed and manipulated by the event sheet.

Create a square wall_x in the middle of the field. Whenever the ball hits the top it goes right through.

inkBot It seems to work. Will there be problem when there are all different enemies everywhere splitting at different times? That is what I need.
EDIT: never mind, it works fine (I took out the 'for each' loop).

Here is a (quite cool) example .capx
