  To add files to your exe look at the project toolbar. There is a folder called "files" that you can right click on to add files. Disregard the "sound" and "music" folders they are not used. Then change your sound actions to "play from resource".

  It looks like the uv's are changing. Unless you want a sub-texture, u and v displace should be left at 0.

  Perhaps try updating your graphics card driver.

  The 9-patch object is a good replacement for the tiledBG in this situation.

  This is simple to test, but yes, global variables span event sheets.

  No, events aren't translated to python. Under the hood Construct more or less just interprets events that are converted to a form that is pretty much unreadable. You'll need to look through Construct's source code to see exactly how it works, but it's generally easier to just look at the wiki and examples on the forum.

  Link to .capx file (required!):

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples16/expressionCollaseBug.capx

  Steps to reproduce:

  Using any expression with literals that result in NaN or infinity when collapsed will cause a syntax error at runtime.

  Observed result:/Expected result:/Proposed solution:

  For 1/0 the result is 1#INF when exporting, it should be Infinity.

  For -1^0.5 the result is -1#IND when exporting, it should be NaN.

  Browsers affected:

  Chrome: yes

  Firefox: yes

  Internet Explorer: untested (likely yes)

  Operating system & service pack:

  Winxp sp3

  Construct 2 version:

  r119 but should happen in any version.

  Do you have a demo we can try so we can see how well it performs? I'm also interested in more details about your technique. Are there any papers or sites you used as a reference?

  Use invisible sprites located right before the turns. When the ship collides with those sprites add 90 to an instance variable of the ship called "targetAngle". Then every tick rotate the ship toward the targetAngle.

  You can implement them in events with the function object. Here are the formulas:

  qarp(a, b, c, t) = lerp(lerp(a,b,t), lerp(b,c,t), t)

  cubic(a, b, c, d, t) = lerp(qarp(a,b,c,t), qarp(b,c,d,t), t)

  cosp(a, b, t) = (a+b+(a-b)*cos(t*180))/2

  For interpolation with any number of parameters wikipedia has the math here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Generalization

  Whiteclaws

  They are for smooth transitions from one value to another. Cubic and qarp can be used to define a curved path or to do ease in/out effects.
