  The HTML table example shows how to display array data in a HTML element.

  It's also noted in the manual:

  Avoid indefinitely increasing the image offset, such as by always adding to it. On some devices, a very large image offset can start to exhibit rendering glitches due to precision issues on the GPU. You can avoid this by wrapping the image offset back to 0 after it exceeds the image size.

  Please report it to our issue tracker - issues only mentioned on the forum are easily lost and forgotten.

  The IPlugin methods I mentioned should work without depending on an object name.

  It should just work without you needing to do anything else. If it doesn't work, please file an issue following all the guidelines.

  As ever, if you run in to a problem, the best thing to do is file an issue following all the guidelines. From just a forum post all I can really say is that shouldn't happen and I don't know why it does.

  The Linux exporter will never say that it requires the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. If you see that it means you tried to run a Windows WebView2 export on the Steam Deck.

  See the note in the manual:

  The "is online" detection of the Browser plugin is more or less a guess. It is actually difficult to categorically determine if an Internet connection is available. For example the user may have intermittent signal, and online features sometimes work and sometimes fail unpredictably. In this case the "Is online" detection is probably wrong, as it can't actually tell whether a connection will work. Rather than using this condition to check if online features will work, usually it's better to just go ahead and use online features anyway as if the user is online, and handle any errors that occur as a result.

  "This app requires the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime. It will be downloaded and installed for you now."

  Use the Linux exporter for the Steam Deck. Don't use the Windows WebView2 exporter - despite the Windows compatibility on Steam Deck, it's not good enough to run WebView2, but the Linux exporter runs natively. See Exporting to Linux and the Steam Deck.

  In the NW.js object, there is a ReadFile expression (not an action) that synchronously reads the content of a file and returns the content as a string.

  However I would advise using the File System object with one of the newer export options. NW.js is deprecated so will be removed in future, and the File System object can read files asynchronously which is usually better for performance and avoiding jank.

  It looks like GetAccessToken() wasn't available in SDK v2 due to an oversight - I've added an equivalent getAccessToken() method for the next beta (which would be called via runtime.objects.Facebook.getAccessToken().

  The existing IPlugin static method getByConstructor() and methods getSingleGlobalObjectType() and getSingleGlobalInstance() allow for retrieving an object type or instance for a given plugin constructor, but you won't need those for calling getAccessToken().

  It should already be possible. Set the drawing blend to 'Destination out' and any opaque drawing will erase.

  If you're doing something like stepped collision checks, then you can just use any fixed time step. The only difference it makes is how many checks/collision accuracy. For example you could just use a fixed time step of (1/60) and it will have about the same accuracy as frames when running at 60 FPS but with no variation at all because you used a fixed step.
