  Fusion 3 has an interesting approach to files and collaboration.

  Would this be useful for Construct 3 too? Curious what you guys think. I don't full understand it though.

  Sounds like they let you open project even if it there's broken files.

  I'm not too sure what approach you're doing to understand properly.

  There's some example templates of Tetris in the store you could learn from, if you don't mind paying:

  You could use an Array with a width of 7. Fill it with values from 1 to 7 (or 0 to 6), where each represents a different piece type. Arrays have an action that lets you shuffle them.

  Rable I haven't released anything on Steam with it yet so I'm not sure. I'm still early in my current project.

  but from discord I saw this quote from skymen:

  Our game works really well on all platforms including Steamdeck and it builds and uploads at the click of a button

  or could ask armaldio who made Pipelab.

  It does still say it's in Beta though, so maybe he'll talk more about it publicly when it's not beta?

  You can also see the Pipelab addon page here, and see what kind of features it supports currently:

  Have you tried electron/Pipelab? It's free to export with and works with Steam.

  This recent C3 Steam game uses it: store.steampowered.com/app/2225960/Noobs_Are_Coming

  There's also the Pipelab export option, which is meant to be good

  Wonder why it crashes for you. What sort of browser/device you have? Do you have browser extensions?

  Have you looked at the example browser in C3? You can search Dictionary in that. Not sure if those help.

  I'm not sure what approach you're wanting for the shop. What you want to look like.

  Because you could also use Arrays for this kind of thing.

  It may be helpful to use the array/dictionary editor, then load that file into your object with Ajax plugin. If you're not doing that already. So that you can have a list of all your items data.

  Like, what kind of ID do you want? You could use numbers or words.

  And what values do you want attached to the items?

  If you're just wanting an ID as a number, and then the value of the id being the name. Then you could just use an array.

  e.g. 0 = sword, 1 = shield, 2 = helmet

  Then if you're looking to have text to set the name of an item. Then you could have an action that "set text" to: array.at(1), which would show the name "shield"
