It's not recommended to mix physics with other behaviors (Platform, Drag&Drop, Pin, Bullet etc.) in the same object. It's very difficult to make them work together correctly.

You can use a different invisible sprite with Drag&Drop, and move the physics box to its position, see this example:

Like I said, in this case you can use MoveTo behavior. Move your sprite from point 1 to point 2. When point 2 reached, move to point 3 and so on.

If you want a continuous smooth motion between several points, you can try Spline:

The correct way to parse response from the weather server is to feed it into JSON plugin, but if you only need to retrieve a couple of values, you can use this method:

dropbox.com/s/n8oo19a0aa2bauu/WeatherData.capx
If this doesn't work in preview mode, open browser console. If you see "Origin localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin" or similar error there, this is CORS issue, search the forum for solutions.

You need to export the game to HTML5, then upload it to some web server and post the link on the forum. If you don't have your own server, you can use itch.io, netlify.com or some similar service.

What do you mean by "not responsive"? To scroll with mouse - On mouse wheel move the panel some distance up or down.

I don't know how you display the weather, probably send a http request to some weather web service via AJAX, then parse the response.

You mean instead of the list 1 item wide and 100 rows down you want it to be 4 items wide and 25 rows down?

To check if these events are triggered, add Browser-Log actions into them. Open browser console and see if messages appear when you connect/disconnect the gamepad.

Are you saying that Construct's Exporter is smart enough to somehow detect that these images are identical and remove them? Even though they are in different sprite folders?

IDK, but it's very unlikely that it could export/compress 6GB project and 100.000 images into 141 MB game.

There is a whole bunch of addons by Rexrainbow that make development of board games much easier:

If you don't need the comprehensive board system and just want to move from one point to another, you can use MoveTo behavior.

Wow, that's really encouraging! Did you test how much memory your game was using - for images in Debug Mode, and overall RAM in Task Manager?

Check out the animation loader addon, it may help with the development stage. As I understand, it will allow you to store all images on disk and load them into sprites on runtime. This will keep the project small. When you are ready to release the game, you can import all animations into sprites.

EDIT: Are you saying that the exported game size was 94MB? This is not right. It means that Construct has removed all duplicate images. Or was that the size of NW.EXE file only?

Usually you create the main Family and FamilyClone. Then you can use events like "Family on collision with FamilyClone..." and you can address both collided instances in this event separately.

This is not possible. You can use a dictionary - add it to the same container with the sprite, so that each sprite instance will automatically have its own instance of the dictionary. And then use this dictionary to keep all values, instead of instance variables. When an item is picked up and you need to add 1 to this item count, you can do something like this:
Pick an instance of Object ObjDictionary Add key (item.name & "Capacity") with value (Self.Get(item.name & "Capacity")+1)

You can also create a couple of helper functions to make adding/retrieving data from this dictionary easier.
