Can you give an example?

There are some expressions you can use. For example:

set result to chooseindex(var, "foo", "bar", "baz")

set result to (var=0 ? "foo" : var=1 ? "bar" : "baz")

In 3d game you would probably want the sprite to rotate in the direction it moves?

This looks like a bug with the debugger or perhaps Physics behavior. If you can reproduce it in a small project, you need to report it:

Set Rendering mode=2D in HUD layer properties.

The way we did this in Moonstone Island was by placing a semi-transparent copy of the character sprite on a layer above. Or you can paste it on a drawing canvas. It won't be dark though:

The trees are not transparent.

Now how do I mark a post as the solution?

You can edit the subject if you wish, but it's not really necessary.

After all, how many devs would publish a game under their name? The vast majority would register a business name.

Lots of people are making games as a hobby and if they publish their games, it's on platforms like Construct Arcade or itch.io. You don't need to register a company for that.

I agree that the license is expensive. But what do you suggest? Making a "small hobbyist" license which is slightly less restrictive than the trial version and costs only $5 a month?

Check out the official example:

editor.construct.net
But it's not very good because it doesn't detect touch speed, only the direction between start and end point. Meaning you can randomly move the finger around the screen for a long time and it will still detect it as a swipe.

A better way to do this is to use Touch.SpeedAt(0) and Touch.AngleAt(0) expressions

Yes, self.a instead of just "a", but you need to copy/paste this entire expression:

(anglediff(self.a, 0)<45 ? "Right": anglediff(self.a, 90)<45 ? "Down": anglediff(self.a, 180)<45 ? "Left": "Up")

It's using ternary operators and is a short and efficient way to do this:

If angle is near 0 degrees - use "Right" animation
else If angle is near 90 degrees - use "Down" animation
else If angle is near 180 degrees - use "Left" animation
else use "Up" animation
