  What you did seems fine to me.

  Then again I have no idea what you mean by removing text.

  You can't subtract from a string unless you do something like use the replace() expression, and replace the text with ""

  I don't really suggest using text to do comparisons, but whatever floats your boat.

  Likewise I really don't suggest using object id's.

  Assigned variables, or its index is a better way to go.

  Well you could store it in local storage. That way you wouldn't have to redownload an unchanged value in a different session.

  Laughs maniacally.

  Can you show any game you made so far?

  I'm going to guess it costs 20 bucks to see it.

  2 levels would be the guess.

  10 cents for 1/2 level?

  You don't.

  You just set the text to what it was previously.

  Well I really wasn't asking for 3js integration.

  More like the particles object as a shader.

  I know an animated particle emitter might be a bit much.

  Personally I would prefer just a vertex/pixel rather than using an image.

  Would it be possible to create arrays of pixels in C2 sort of like an animation with frames?

  No, you can create a stack in an array, put it in a dictionary, etc.

  You can even chain the triggers storing the ajax return in a function parameter.

  On ajax tag completed, call function myfunction with peram ajax.lastdata.

  Of course that begs the question of why you need the function in the first place, since other events can run in the ajax trigger.

  OK, cool.

  My next suggestion would be some pixel effects.

  It's like the particles object, but done in an fx.

  No masks, just per-pixel operations.

  Unless you want addition, which is just +, and can work with strings as well.

  Just &, with a sprinkling of int() since concatenation changes values to string.

  If it's not in the object menu then its either depreciated(right click show depreciated), or it's already added, and can only be added one time.

  Check the projects tab.

  Yeah, that would actually be pretty nice for a relaxation app.

  Imagine a lake scene with birds flying by, etc.

  Also anything that can be used as a transition would be welcome to someone.
