Fixed this a couple of other issues:

Edit: I missed the "Have the cursor in the centre" part. You can simply add "Set Cursor position to Slider" in event 13. And you should move the Origin image point in Cursor sprite to its tip.

For the first task you need Drawing Canvas object - paste your image onto the canvas, save snapshot, and then you can read pixel R G B A values from the snapshot.

As for converting numbers etc. - some things may be possible with Construct expressions, for others you can use Javascript code.

Set myNumber to Browser.ExecJS("......")

I see you are using my template, but in a weird way.

Try this modified version:

It's not possible to answer your question without seeing the project file. The NUmOfShip variable obviously gets reset somewhere. Most probably there is an event "Reset global variables" that does this.

There are many ways to keep this value safe and intact. You can use a dictionary, or put it into an instance variable, or save to Local Storage etc.

You need to wait till the next tick after instances are created, to be able to destroy them. So add "Wait 0" before the destroy action.

Or, better yet, instead of creating and immediately destroying, simply don't create them! If you need to create 8 and destroy 3 instances, you should create only 5 instead.

I wonder what did you try?

Keyboard On Enter pressed -> System go to layout....

.

You should probably start with tutorials:

Well, it's right there in event #6. This event is executed on every tick, so horns is constantly getting reset to (level-1)

You should probably move this action to "On start of layout" event.

Changing the canvas image pixel by pixel will always be slow. Also, my C3 crashes all the time when I'm trying to preview your project :)

Maybe you can work around this by using round sprites, with circular gradient colors. Change their opacity/size as the mouse moves, and paste them onto the canvas.

You can only add filename to the list if it ends with ".json"

Use this condition:

lowercase(right(NWjs.ListAt(loopindex), 5)) = ".json"

You have a much smaller window size and TStick sprite is also smaller, so you need to decrease the deadzone value in event 31, set something like "TStick.d>5"

Also, you don't need to set angle, remove event 37.

It depends on how you display this file list. I used ListBox, you can access file name using List.SelectedTextAt expression. You might want to use a bunch of text/spritefont objects instead or something similar.
