  Clockwise means it's a greater angle. 45 degrees is clockwise of 0 degrees. 45 degrees is counterclockwise of 90 degrees.

  It's the direction the clock hands move.

  The problem is that even if it supported isometric maps, it still wouldn't work with z sorting.

  Tilemaps are rendered as one texture, so all tiles have to be at the same z.

  Sure it might help a bit for backgrounds, but for the bulk of repeating textures you really have to go with the tiled background object.

  You wouldn't record every xy. That's useless information.

  You would record the angle, and when it changed.

  Array as a stack in a container for each object.

  Along with the Timer behavior.

  If you want a whole layout to do that I'd suggest the Paster plug, or better yet an fx.

  They are just slightly confusing.

  Then again so is when to use negated, or else.

  Make a variable call it canbeclicked, set it to 0.

  Make a variable comparison, variable canbeclicked =1 do stuff

  Set the things you want to be clickable to 1

  If they are different objects use a family variable.

  Otherwise you would go by the zorder...

  Yeah, you have to do the picking yourself.

  rocket has los to planet

  planet pick closest to rocket

  rocket set angle to anglelerp(self.angle,angle(self.x,self.y,planet.x,planet.y), something*dt)

  Honestly I would go with Line of Sight.

  Turret is made to be the shooter, not the .. shot.

  Its either something you, or another program has done locally.

  Even the virus scanner, which is a effectively a self-made customization.

  Worst case is hardware.

  Ah, there's a difference for ampersand between strings and ints.

  Really hard to see the usefulness of inline booleans in C2, but I guess it may be inherited from javascript.

  Thanks.

  You can do all of that with bullet, and line of sight.

  Not sure why its saying 1 either.

  If anything I would expect a 0 for that specific case.

  But then again I expected it to concatenate to 999.

  The feature you want is push requests, which already exist in varying ways as plugs, and services.

  The app itself cannot be made to run in the background.

  It can however make calls to the system to schedule an alarm if an api exists.
