  Post an example and/or a link to your game - sound works fine in both Chrome and Firefox for the vast majority of users as far as we are aware.

  Not sure what you're referring to. Can you provide an example?

  Note if you extend the array, the object will fill the new elements with zeroes, which is by design.

  To find out more about node-webkit issues use the node-webkit plugin and 'show dev tools' on start of layout. Then providing there's not a javascript error that prevents the runtime starting up at all, you'll get a chrome devtools window with a console that you can look for errors in just like in the browser.

  Just a heads up that what you've made is functionally different from the Touch angle expression. The touch angle updates in real-time based on the current direction of the touch - so if you swipe in an L shape, you'll get the correct touch angle towards the end of the swipe, whereas this method just tell you the angle from the start to the end.

  Surely not? It looks horrible. And technically it's distortion and is regarded as a fault. I think letterboxing is far better than an ugly stretch.

  Most views are probably from robots/search crawlers, I don't think it's a useful measurement. If you're not getting a good response, the best thing to do is to make sure you described the problem as completely and fully as possible, and provided a .capx if possible, so it's as easy as possible for others to help you. Tips for posting in the 'How do I?' forum

  egos - the pathfinding behavior already uses A*.

  If you unselect all objects, the Z order bar doesn't filter anything.

  You can already do this using the Browser object's expressions to calculate the aspect ratio yourself, or the scale inner/scale outer fullscreen modes with carefully designed layouts. I don't think there needs to be a new feature for it.

  We're going to investigate this further shortly and will let you know what we find. We've heard Windows 8 apps should be compatible with the XBox One, so it might be possible.

  It should be pretty clear if you put each tilemap on a different layer then regularly use the layers bar to toggle each layer's visibility - you'll be able to see each set of tiles clearly.

  The physics engine isn't the fastest right now since Javascript isn't ideal for such computationally intensive code. It should work fine for games with relatively low physics body counts, though. Also don't forget it's just one feature. Other parts of the engine such as the WebGL renderer are comparable to native engines. CocoonJS also provides a native-powered physics engine which is a lot faster (although only a subset of the physics behavior is supported...) and we've been experimenting with an asm.js compiled version of the physics engine, which allows it to perform at close to native speed even in a browser. However there are some tricky technical issues around doing that, but it's probably solvable, so we might have a solution in future.

  You have to select a tile before the button enables. Closing, please provide complete steps to reproduce the issue if you still think there's a problem.

  It's by design that you'd just use two tilemaps - one with decorative non-colliding tiles and the other colliding tiles. Hopefully it's straightforward to use that way.
