  Can't reproduce, seems to remember the window position just fine here. Can you detail specifically which tools you've chosen and exactly where you click?

  Can't reproduce, works fine here. This is a very common sequence of actions so I'm sure we'd hear about it more if it was a Construct 2 bug, but so far only you've reported it which suggests a problem with just your system. Are you sure your graphics card drivers are up to date?

  As far as I am aware, Construct 2 correctly handles unicode. It exports everything including the Javascript contents and filenames in UTF-8. Perhaps there is a server configuration issue that is causing a problem; if the server is trying to use a different codepage, it might corrupt the file contents or fail to locate files. It's hard to comment further without an up-to-date example.

  I'm also not sure if we can automatically rename files without possibly causing naming conflicts. I also don't want to make Construct 2 rename things if the problem is just with the server.

  It's not easily possible unless there is a good existing C++ library that can be compiled to asm.js to cover the same functionality as the plugin, and it's only worth doing if the performance of the plugin is a possible bottleneck. So far only Physics stands to benefit: there is a good existing compile of C++ Box2D to asm.js which is pretty closely compatible with what the behavior already does, and it is often a bottleneck.

  The C2 loader shows while the loader layout is loading.

  It only applies to physics.

  We don't yet officially support those platforms, and we can't say how it will work until we add support.

  Yes, you can put them in subevents to make sure it only does the collision check if the parent events are true.

  Best to ask Ludei about this - it depends on what their platform does. I'd suspect it keeps all user data.

  Those errors look like Construct 2's preview server has shut down. Did you close the project or close Construct 2? If so, the game will no longer to be able to load resources even if it keeps running in the browser.

  Kurz - probably the same issue - check your drivers are up to date.

  Are your graphics card drivers up to date? New computers sometimes ship with out of date drivers.

  I think there might be a bug in the Audio plugin where it still queues music for the next touch in a touch event. You can just play music on the start of layout and the Audio plugin will actually start playback automatically upon the first touch - you don't need a specific event to handle it. I'll update the manual to clarify this.

  'Trigger once' doesn't trigger once ever, it just means 'only run if the event did not run last tick' and therefore makes no sense to use in a subevent to a trigger. Use a global variable for that kind of thing instead.

  You probably don't need jQuery, just a little bit of javascript code to call your own function. The best way is to use the Javascript SDK to make your own plugin that talks to the page. If you're happy for hackery though, you can use the Browser object's 'Execute javascript' action - but be very careful with it, since a mistake can break the whole game or the whole page.
