I hope I understood your question correctly, here is a demo:

Here is my idea, somewhat similar to oosyrag's.

When an enemy needs to move - randomly generate a bunch of destination points in the walking distance and in general direction to the player. You can spawn invisible sprites at each point to make it easier. Then evaluate each point - is it behind a cover, does it have a line-of-sight to the player, is it close to other enemies etc. You can give it a score, say +5 if it's behind a cover, -2 if it's close to other enemies (because you want them to flank the player). The point with the highest score wins and the enemy moves there.

You still need to choose one of the scaling modes, it doesn't need to work in full screen.

What black bar? You mean this?

Most likely the image in the tilemap is slightly misplaced. Try double-clicking this tile in the Tilemap Bar to check.

What scaling mode are you using? Here is an old but still relevant tutorial:

construct.net/en/tutorials/supporting-multiple-screen-77
With letterbox scaling all objects will be where you placed them. And the game viewport should be centered in the browser window.

With Scale Outer or Scale Inner modes you might need to enable "Unbounded scrolling" in properties for each layout. You can use Anchor behavior for UI objects. And of course set zero parallax and scale rate for all UI layers which you don't want to be scrolled or scaled.

Yeah, I'm currently using EasyStarJS C3 addon in several big projects, it's working great.

Your mistake is that your are moving the Base sprite with 8-direction behavior. Or changing its position on every tick, which is essentially the same.

You should only move physics objects with physics actions (set velocity, apply force, impulse etc.). Never use other movement behaviors or change position/angle of physics objects directly, especially when there are joints.

Yeah, it's really annoying that NoSave behavior can't be added to arrays, dictionaries and JSON.

I remember posting this suggestion, but it must have been on an old platform, and it never got implemented.

What you can do is save array.AsJSON in an instance variable on a sprite with NoSave behavior, clear the array, save the game, restore the array from that instance variable.

This is possible, but there are three big parts in your question:

1. You need to find a working addon for reading QR codes, try this link or search the forum:

construct.net/en/make-games/addons/414/qr-code
2. If you want to make changed to JSON, you need to parse it, see the official JSON example in C3.

3. To send data to a server you need to use AJAX and possibly PHP/MySQL, there are lots of tutorials available here:

Use maskable/adaptive icons:

Events 2 and 3 in your screenshot run on every tick while their conditions are true. You should avoid using "Wait" in events that run on every tick, because this creates hundreds of delayed threads, which continue running for 1.5 seconds even after the condition becomes false, messing everything up..

Use Timer behavior instead.

On collision with the boost : Increase max speed, Start Timer "reset_speed" for 1.5s

On Timer "reset_speed" : Set default max speed
