  • Drawing Canvas is not a good choice for animations. You need to make a snapshot after every frame and save it in an array, then restore it from the array - these are very slow operations. You can also save the canvas image in BinaryData, but there is no way to load it back into the canvas.

    Have you tried Game Recorder object?

  • I think it's a very bad idea to make user to change date on their device. This may cause many issues with other apps - reminders, scheduled tasks, automatic backups, antivirus software etc.

    Besides, I checked on my phone and it doesn't allow me to set the date earlier than 01/01/2007

  • You can use a loop with Wait, for example: 

    For each Sprite 
.. Wait 0.2*loopindex
.. Sprite set invisible

    A problem with wait is that once it's running, you can't stop it. So a better solution may be using Timer behavior. 

    For each Sprite 
.. Sprite start timer "make_invisible" for (0.2*loopindex) seconds

Sprite On Timer "make_invisible" 
.. Sprite set invisible

  • I think every time you click, two events are triggered.

    I suggest you use "System is within angle" condition: 

    Mouse On Left button clicked

(subevents)
.. Local variable a
.. Set a to angle(player_hitbox.x, player_hitbox.y, Mouse.x, Mouse.y)

.. a is within 30 degrees of 0 : Simulate pressing right
.. a is within 30 degrees of 90 : Simulate pressing down
.. a is within 30 degrees of 180 : Simulate pressing left
.. a is within 30 degrees of 270 : Simulate pressing up

  • You can get the real text size using expressions Text.TexWidth and Text.TextHeight

  • Add Browser object to your project. Add "Browser Log" action to the events you want to debug.

    Start the preview, press F12, open Console log and check your debug messages there.

  • The code should work. How do you know that physics is not disabled, have you checked in Debug mode? Try adding Browser Log action to these events, see if they fire. Check collision polygons in all objects. Or maybe some other event is enabling the behavior.

  • Export the game as debug APK. Then transfer this APK file somehow to your phone. You can connect the phone to your computer with USB cable, or send the file by email etc.

    Then locate this APK on your phone and tap it to install.

    You may need to allow "installing apps from unknown sources" in your phone settings.

  • It's not recommended to drag physics objects when Physics is enabled.

    But what you described should work. Try something like this: 

    Sprite is dragging

..Sprite is overlapping PinkArea : Sprite set physics Disabled

..Else
..Sprite is overlapping YellowArea : Sprite set physics Enabled

  • Try Construct 3

  • If the boxes should not move, simply set them as immovable.

    If they need to be moving, it may be difficult to get rid of that twitching. You can try experimenting with settings like elasticity, friction etc. Or briefly (for 0.1 seconds) set them immovable with an event, maybe this will calm them down..

    If your main concern is the gap, you can decrease the size of collision polygon in the box sprite by 1px at the top of the box.

  • I suggest using Tween instead. Here is a demo

  • Your link says "Access denited".

    Here is a simple demo:

  • It's not clear what exactly is your question. The easiest way to move a sprite to a certain distance is with MoveTo behavior.

    Since your game is played on a grid, you can also try TileMovement. There are example templates in C3 you can check.

  • You can save the active instance UID in a local variable, then do this: 

    System Pick All Sprite
System Pick Sprite by evaluate Sprite.UID<>savedUID

    Or, if you need to still have the original instance picked, you can add this sprite to a family. This way you can pick one instance of the sprite and the remaining instances of the family, and work with them all in the same event.
