  Looks like the C3 version is missing the ability to set its angle in the layout.

  Doesn't using Explorer also make you sad?

  Im not sure how well it would hold up to an excessive amount of points but you could try rex's spline plug.

  I used that method in Construct Classic using Rojo's plug, but it had a way to reverse the spline.

  You would still need to use an array to store a set of points here.

  I would suggest two arrays as a stack, one for each axis.

  I don't really believe that.

  Not that I completely understand what it is you are saying.

  The engine doesn't provide for that functionality as it takes a tick to read from the gpu making it a virtually useless process as the value could different in the tick you receive it.

  You have to find a better way to detect whatever it is you are looking for.

  We can't draw to the canvas so why would we need to get a color?

  Btw some third party plugs have this option, relatively speaking.

  Well it's not easier, or less work, but we have interpolation to make it less data intensive.

  So rather than save data every tick you could save it at every x milliseconds and use lerp() on the positions.

  Those elements aren't rendered at the same time, and most likely will be done at a slower rate depending on the browser.

  For example: https://pigmalien.github.io/Alchemy/index.html

  The lists, and bars lag where the orb and its texture don't, even though there's a lot more going on.

  Solution:

  Make your own bar out of non dom objects like sprite, tiled bg, 9patch.

  Dom elements are drawn on top of everything as they aren't part of the canvas and rendered with the rest.

  Accelerometer and gyroscope plugs default to zero, so you can add events for both of them as well as touch controls based on that value.

  A great many lower end models do not have gyroscopes, almost all smartphones have an accelerometer.

  The response for the x, and y axis of the features is identical.
