Maybe switching the rotate towards angle with an angleLerp?

anglelerp(a, b, x) Linearly interpolate the angle a to b by x. Unlike the standard lerp, this takes in to account the cyclical nature of angles.

As a quick test I replaced your rotate toward angle with this:

-> boid: Set angle to anglelerp(Self.Angle,boids.Angle+3,0.01) degrees

and it looks to me a bit smoother - you can fiddle with the 0.01 value to change the rotation speed. Also I'm not sure the "boids.Angle+3" part of the lerp is the correct conversion for move "3 degrees towards".

You can either use a dictionary or array to store values for multiple items. If you want each item to have its own multiplier I'd use an array, otherwise a dictionary is fine.

Here's an example showing both:

I've rounded the value to avoid decimals - you can remove the "round" expression if you'd prefer them.

It looks related to this known issue with bullet behaviour bouncing:

There's a response here from Ashley in the bug report:

I tried to make the reflection working from all angles, not just from the left. But I couldn't work out the math and gave up. Maybe someone else could fix it.

You just need to add a "trigger once when true" condition after "Virus total = 0"; it was firing every tick.

Ah, a help request related to one of my favourite games - how could I resist? :-)

Here's my attempt:

The line is drawn on the grid, allows backtracking and is blocked by itself and gaps. I've not worked out how to manoeuvre the cursor into the end spot yet - I'll give it some more thought and get back to you.

You can use the System>General>Reset Persisted Objects action to restore the coins.

Here's an example C2 project - it should work fine in C3:

dropbox.com/scl/fi/80m1t5otp08cdxlbpenfz/ajaxArray.capx
You can check out the json structure under the file folder in the project bar. As piranha305 mentions, you need a specific json format in order to load it into an array.

EDIT: Sorry piranha305 - posted my reply without checking for any updates :-)

In C3, instead of using the On "wave" completed condition, you can add a "wait for previous actions" action under the AJAX request action and then Load ar_HelliWave from AJAX.LastData straight after that.

Here's an example using an AJAX + array that lets you set any number of correct answers:

dropbox.com/scl/fi/ucpq6zxhcph3aw6d4su5u/quizTemplate.c3p
Both the questions and answers are shuffled using permutation tables.

I've added comments throughout the event sheet to explain how it works.
