Cool, thatās great! It was really brave of you and @catsarisky to use the canvas. Honestly, Iām frightened about using the canvas, I donāt know a thing about it. Instead, for my Guac-A-Mole app, I used buttons for the tortillas.
@codeswept - wow! thatās impressive - itās such a simple concept but with clever use of sliders for difficulty level - not to mention the math and memory skills it develops in the player! i always enjoy looking at your code - so much to learn from. keep it up! thanks.

The canvas was a real learning curve but I feel empowered now (thanks, @domhnallohanlon, for the challenge!).
I added a restart button as you requested. Same link as before.

Wow, that was quick!
Agreeā¦ Iām just using canvas for drawing apps, and not gaming as intended.
Also, @tatiang, about the 2+3=6 issue, check my 3d screenshot in my original post. It has the same 2+3 level, but contains a 5, not 6.
@manyone Thanks for your nice wordsā¦ Iām also a big fan of your code, you make such impossible things with such neat code. I especially loved your CLIX converter. Are you going to participate in this WDC? Iād love to see what youāve got to share.

iām afraid not - there is so much for me to learn on clones, canvas and sprites - iām so far behind all of you guys.

@tatiang - i love the game! somehow my device isnt too responsive to the up/down keys to move the bartender - can you give an option to make them āwrap aroundā ? bravo!

Thanks! The original Tapper game didnāt have wrap around so I donāt think Iām going to make it an option but it would certainly make the game a little easier.
The up/down buttons work okay on mine but I think part of the problem is that Iām constantly checking to see if the customers reach a certain x position to indicate game over and thereās probably a much more efficient way to do that that doesnāt affect the game speed/responsiveness.
I also intend to make the customers speed up gradually. Still need to add that. They are supposed to spawn at x=0 (left edge of screen) but because of the position bug I keep mentioning, it doesnāt work that way and they get a head start.

Canvas is a very weak spot of mine tooā¦ I used the Any component blocks and Buttons.
Can you see if the current version is any better as far as the up/down buttons go? I replaced the x position checking blocks with a collision event block and Iām hoping that helps.

the up and down buttons are more responsive now - but thereās something about the y-pos of the bartender - sometimes it doesnāt āline upā with bar - sometimes heās lower (seems never higher) - and a new customer shows up not AT the bar but between 2 bars. also sometimes when the bartender is at the top bar, clicking the button will send the drink to the next bar below. (only happens occasionally when bartender is a top bar only). otherwise - it is a challenging game.

YEP. Thatās the positioning bug Iām so annoyed by. The y positions donāt line up because when I set a spriteās y position to 0, it ends up being like 10.98754331 or 22.68913123 or some crazy value.
The blocks I used just add or subtract 100 from the bartenderās y position. So since the bartender starts at y=100, the position of that sprite should always be a multiple of 100. But it isnāt. 
So I canāt ensure that the bar is in the right place or the customer is or even the bartender/player. Itās a mess. Once that bug gets fixed, my game should work perfectly.

By the way, I used https://www9.lunapic.com/editor to do quick opacity editing of images (for slightly transparent backgrounds, etc.).

i havenāt done sprite coding yet - but canāt you recompute sprite y as 100* (round(returned sprity-y / 100))?
you might have to add 1 (to avoid y=0)
btw - i canāt open your project - i get this message below.
ERROR for site owner:
Invalid domain for site key
My project is still private. But the playable web app is at http://bit.ly/icedteatoss2.
I thought about rounding but Iām also hoping that this gets fixed so that a simple set y to 0 means that y is 0. Iām not doing any math or using any variables. Just y=0.
Thanks!

Updated my app to include:
- Users can choose switch on and off a 30 second timer.
- App now displays lapsed time.
- Shows userās fastest time taken.
Sounds effects and more coming soon.
You can try the new version using the same link.
Thanks!

WHACK A BEAVER

@domhnallohanlon PLEASE COUNT ME IN SORRY IāM LATE

I only modified the UI, thatās it. I changed the sprites too, but the UX and code were mostly the same. I did the canvas thing because Iām good with the canvas. 
Rules:
To win the game, you must tap the red beaver sprites and avoid tapping the white impostor beaver. You earn a point by tapping a red beaver sprite, and you lose a point by tapping a white impostor sprite. When you reach 10 points, you will receive a congratulations message. If you ever hit -5 points, you will receive another message.
You can notify me of any feedback that you have in the PM or right here. I will accept anything.
P.S. I also forgot to add that my original app and this remixed version were both inspired by the Mole Mash game by Mr. Wolber.
