  You would do this in events rather than a plug. Plugs aren't really made to interact with each other.

  Ideally I would use sin cos, and an angle stored in a variable, a circle rather than a hex or square grid.

  That way you would only be limited by the size of the icon.

  There is a limitation in touch, as there is no "drag" detection, but you can fake it with either a dummy object doing collisions, or possibly a variable, and compare the angle.

  C2 has plenty of tools for text manipulation.

  Seems like you could implement it easier in events than someone could convert it from c.

  Nothing has changed.

  First you must enable snapping, or showing the grid.

  Then you can change the width, and change the height, but the bug with having to click on width afterwards is still there.

  Uid's get recycled btw.

  They're only unique as long as they exist.

  Gimps always had a way to do batches.

  You can even access it via a command prompt, or just make a script.

  Both of which suck if you don't know syntax.

  Lets start taking bets on what platform C3 will use. heh

  Service based web editor, or perhaps a jump to something that can cross compile, Qt maybe?

  Anyway still lots of improvements to do to C2.

  Enjoyed the podcast guys.

  # 3 should be the last thing you try. It can backfire on you. Like they could sue you etc.

  Also it should be possible to find a lawyer to work for what you sue for, and may not even need a deposit.

  Don't expect to get much other than the removal of the game.

  They have contact info on the site, and a whois will give you a bit of useful info as well.

  Thats how picking works.

  If you want all the enemies to turn use either a global variable, or a function.

  Just remember its way easy to get the feminists angry these days.

  Then again, you might just make something empowering.

  "I'm just disappointed by the fact that C2 has no option to abort the processing at certain positions in the event sheets, or to simply skip code to improve performance."

  It can, theres a ton of different ways.

  Nothing wrong with using Boolean variables either.

  Not to mention a ton of different ways to not have to repeat code, like play by name, etc.
