Hello World,

Is there any danger in having 2 instances of C2 open at the same time? One where I work in, and another where I consult a tutorial for example? Any chance of anything getting... "transferred" for lack of a better word, or bugs popping up, etc. Any chance of anything going wrong at all?

Thank you.

Should be fine. I've had three open at once in the past.

It fine to do as they run as separate instances

I do this all the time, never had a problem. Be careful though, because you can also open two projects in the same instance, which can lead to all kinds of confusion. Not even sure why that's a permitted behavior.

You can open two, three, four... but never five! NEVER FIVE.

You can even copy/paste events from one window to another, assuming the same variables, objects, etc being referenced exist in both projects. Its super handy for restoring a broken mess from experimenting with your old working version.

As a super helpful tip, i ALWAYS (now) change the theme of the 'temporary' or 'reference' project to something dark / drastically different to my main 'WORKING' code... especially in the case of referencing between 2 versions of the same code, you dont want to get mixed up and start adding new features to your old version. Having a visual theme is the easiest way to identify which one is which since all the other stuff is almost identical. I learned this the hard way.

Oh wow...I like that idea a lot. Because...yeah, I've done that before. Then you really have a mess to sort out.

Thanks for sharing!
