  cklester - but as I say we like to chop and change. For example the Blackberry 10 support wasn't really planned in advance, it just became an opportune time to support it for various reasons. I'm sure everyone would agree it would be better not to promise specific things than to make lots of promises that we either drop or get postponed for a long time.

  mrcgkh - if you want to tint to re-color sprites, you can do that with WebGL shaders. Is that why you thought you needed the ability to set pixels? Setting pixels one-by-one usually absolutely kills performance, which is the main reason it's not supported, and there's almost always a better workaround than to use a 'set pixel' feature.

  mrcgkh - what animation features are you missing precisely? I'd also add I don't think web pages is a direction we want to be taking the product in at this time.

  fassFlash - please don't bump old threads if you don't have anything valuable to contribute. Many people don't have game controllers and so a lot of games will need keyboard control.

  The 'Rain Demo' is really designed as a desktop game. I usually add touch controls if I can think of a good way to do it, but for that type of game it's hard to think of a way that touch control could be used as effectively as a keyboard & mouse.

  'Space Blaster' has a better example of touch controls which works well on mobile.

  There's nothing with that name built in to Construct 2 so you should ask the developer. 7Soul's guess is reasonable though.

  It runs slowly because PhoneGap is really slow. Try CocoonJS and it should be fast.

  It is how the Construct 2 editor makes the browser refresh when you press 'run'. Generally you don't want to disable that, because it's a useful feature.

  1. See Keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl+E/Ctrl+L or Shift+Tab does this already

  2. Event sheets don't always have an associated layout, e.g. if it's included from another event sheet or used in two layouts by includes. This is the same problem with the Ctrl+L shortcut, which can't always switch to the layout if it's an included sheet. I could try and add the same thing for event sheets which can find their layout though?

  dvinmn - it's a game specially designed to show off as many effects as possible. It has something like 7-8 layers, most of which have shaders going on. Mobiles really struggle with that kind of thing, it's really designed as a desktop game.

  We intend to add the same translation system the tutorials system has to the manual in future. Hopefully it won't be too long!
