  What, why do you add up an angle with x/y coordinates? It probably works, because the circle.angle is zero, but it doesn't make any sense.

  You need this:

  Circle on collision with Enemy
  	Target set position to Player
  	Target move at angle
  		Angle: angle(Player.x, Player.y, Enemy.x, Enemy.y)
  		Distance: (Сircle.width/2)
  

  If multiple enemies can be in range, you might want to modify it to something like this:

  Circle is overlapping Enemy
  Enemy pick nearest to Player.x, Player.y
  
  	Target set position to Player
  	Target move at angle
  		Angle: angle(Player.x, Player.y, Enemy.x, Enemy.y)
  		Distance: (Сircle.width/2)
  

  Also, you can do the same without the circle sprite, using Line of Sight behavior.

  This is a very vague question. Try browsing/searching the Tutorials:

  There are a couple of C2 addons for seeded random, I like this one:

  You should be able to open the project in unpacked format, just open the caproj file with Construct 2. Or create a zip archive and rename it to .capx

  This is a big topic, try googling procedural generation site:construct.net

  There are also a few tutorials about random map generation.

  Yes, you can "crop" an image using canvas. Say, your sprite is 500x500 px, you can set canvas to 300x300 px, paste the sprite on it, then destroy the sprite. And you end up with a cropped image on the canvas.

  C3 r148 stable was released yesterday, this feature should work there.

  Yes, you need Destination In blend mode. See "Blend Modes" template in Construct 3.

  Another method is to paste your shadow onto a DrawingCanvas object (smaller in size).

  Since the target and obstacles position constantly changing, you need to re-calculate and find a new path more frequently, maybe every 1-2 seconds.

  This may cause performance issues if the map is too big or cells are too small. In case native Pathfinding is too slow, you can try EasyStarJS plugin, here is C3 version:

  github.com/erenertugrul/construct-plugins/tree/master/ported_plugins/behaviors/easystarjs

  EasyStar is very fast and it has a few cool features like directional cells - where cells are walkable in one direction and blocked in another.

  I'm not sure I understand.

  Try this new version, maybe it'll be of any help:

  Indeed, so each time a box is dropped it checks if there is a match and if so, the lettersMatch instance variable becomes 1.

  Instance variable on which box should becomes 1? The one that is dropped, or the one that has the same letter? Or both?

  Also, when you pick up a different box, it should have instance variable set to 0 by default. Instance variables have different value for each object instance.

  I don't really understand your game.. If you need to set lettersMatch variable per each box, then you need an instance variable. If you need to count successful matches, use a global variable.

  You can add a pair of instance variables startX and startY to the box, set them to box.x and box.y on start of the layout. When the box is dropped and there is no match, return its position to box.startX, box.startY

  Well, to make thing easier you can use tags in your text, like "apple /t banana /n". Create a function that will replace these tags with proper characters and call it before printing.

  Try this:

  Set text to "The quick brown fox" & Browser.ExecJS("String.fromCharCode(9);") & "jumps over the lazy dog."

  9 is the ASCII code for Tab character.

  What I'm struggling with right now is how to place specific letters on to specific places (so not randomised image frames)

  Here you go - re-download the file:

  dropbox.com/s/wz0qi2ih5hh8376/LettersOnBoxes.c3p

  If my example I'm changing the opacity when letters match, you can set a variable or do something else.
