  Your .capx does not appear to reproduce the described problem. Could you attach one that does?

  Looks like a rounding error that only happens when the object width and height are odd. Make the object size even and it goes away. Hopefully that's a decent workaround until it's fixed.

  Closing, you probably just uploaded your project wrong. Check the browser error console.

  You'll still notice that in your tilemap, assuming a relatively small tile size, every tile is different. Therefore it is not possible for the engine to optimise it and it dutifully renders each tile one at a time. You should consider using tiled backgrounds instead perhaps, or using a tilemap which can re-use the same tiles more.

  Closing this thread, I think it's run its course.

  The free edition is not allowed to be used for commercial purposes. However we are OK with people using crowdfunding to raise money to develop a game and buy a license as part of that. I'd recommend going to crowdfunding for this type of thing instead of posting here, since it encourages you to be more transparent and accountable, with good ways for funders to stay up to date with your progress and know that their money has gone to good use.

  Yeah, it's the same reason there's no 'scale' expression. If an object is twice as wide and half as tall, what's its scale?

  The correct email address is licensehelp@scirra.com, please contact us there. Also I'd strongly recommend updating to the latest stable update instead of an old beta.

  It is entirely inappropriate to use the tilemap object to display large images. See this blog post for details:

  https://www.scirra.com/blog/ashley/3/tech-blog-tilemap-tidbits

  When you do this, it has to issue a separate draw call for every tile, because every tile is different. This adds a massive CPU overhead compared to just being able to draw the image once with say a tiled background or sprite.

  Ask them to set up the MIME types given in the manual.

  It looks like an extension of PhoneGap, which most likely means it inherits the poor performance of the web view.

  Hi everyone,

  Just a post to address the questions about the Wii U exporter that have been asked lately.

  Unfortunately due to NDAs, we cannot answer questions about the specifics of the exporter. However, you can find out for yourself by registering as a developer here:

  https://wiiu-developers.nintendo.com/signup/

  Registration is free. Once registered you will be able to see the full specifications, development kit costs, and make use of the support channels. You will not be obligated to make any games and can then decide whether it's something you want to pursue further.

  Ashley

  Firefox doesn't support gamepads yet. Try Chrome or Firefox Nightly.

  It is working correctly. It does not draw all of the draw rects every tick. The high count is because your use of tilemaps is extraordinarily inefficient. If you want to display images, fragmenting them in to tiny tiles means it requires an extreme number of draw calls to render. You should not use tilemaps like this.

  Closing, looks like the same thing as your other bug report. Please be sure to describe what you think the issue is as clearly as possible.
