Why not do it just like your code?

You have this:
if (x + dx > WIDTH || x + dx < 0) dx = -dx; if (y + dy > HEIGHT || y + dy < 0) dy = -dy; x += dx; y += dy;

Which is all doable with events.

Hmm, that is an issue. I haven't messed with any kind of android export as of yet to investigate it further.

The only significant optimization is to set "Use webgl" to no. Use the paster plugin instead for using webgl.

I imagine if I or anyone else didn't make a plugin like this then Scirra would eventually make one because Construct Classic had a plugin like it. Basically this frees them to work on other features first.

The "invoke download" action works well for this. It's next to the "invoke download of string" action. I missed it initially as well when I first tried to do it.

I did it manually. Start with an empty grid and put the longer words down first while trying to find a way to make them overlap. Repeat for as many words as you can fit in the grid. After that just put random letters in the empty spaces.

It's the beta download. You can find the link if you scroll all the way down under "Download". Or use this link:

You could just make the blocks invisible instead of destroying them.

Here's a example:

And a no family version:

Here's one way to do the falling rocks:

It differs from Bertie Booster's idea in that it uses a array for a grid instead of using overlapping at offset.

As it so happens I've been messing with such math lately. Calculating the velocity along an axis is a "vector projection" and looks like this:
velocity_along_angle = velocityX*cos(angle)+velocityY*sin(angle)

Then you can set the velocity to only be along that axis with:

set velocity to: ( velocity_along_angle*cos(angle), velocity_along_angle*sin(angle) )

Yes, that's by design. You can change the size of the texture used with the "set resolution" action. By default when the layout is run the resolution is the same as the paster object's size. Keep in mind that with the "set resolution" action the contents of the texture will be erased.

I made a word search capx a while back here:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/word-search-game_topic44971_post281704.html#281704

The lines are pretty much done like LittleStain said.

Replace "time*300" with "time*300+self.offset" where "offset" is a degree offset in the motion.

Here's that function implemented in events:

Although I don't quite get the significance of the results.

The standard way to do it is re-implement the 8direction movement with the customMovement behavior and use the "push out solid closest" action.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples21/slide3_customMovement.capx

Alternately the wall's solid behavior can be removed and the collision resolution can be done manually with events. It's complicated but gives a better result IMO.
