  Adding touch events like you've described should not affect the framerate at all. I suspect you're not seeing the real framerate when not in a touch. When nothing moves on screen at all, C2 doesn't redraw the screen, so you'll likely hit 60 FPS (because it's not actually doing anything). As soon as you start changing stuff on screen it starts redrawing, so if you move an object in a touch it will start redrawing every frame and then you get a realistic framerate measurement. This doesn't mean the touch events are really slow, it just means you're seeing the real framerate, not 60 FPS because it's inactive.

  Why would you want to stretch the game like that?? It looks horrible!

  Upload your .capx to Dropbox so we can see it. I don't think most games have this.

  Joannesalfa - int(number) will round down, so 2.666 will give 2 instead of 3. Use the floor(number) expression instead.

  Closing, 'every tick' is a framerate dependent event. You need to use dt to make it framerate independent and support pausing. E.g. have a counter which you add dt to, and if the counter reaches a certain value, create a new object and reset the counter. Then if the timescale is 0, dt is 0, and no objects are created.

  I'm not sure what to do about this, it sounds like a problem with Dropbox. In r125 it creates the backup file in a temporary folder, then copies the backup file to Dropbox as a single file copy. If Dropbox tries to read a file before it's even finished being copied, I don't know what we can do...

  Closing, this is by design. When you use mouse input, the touch ID is always 0. You only get real touch IDs when using actual touch input.

  TELLES0808 - that project has the same problem, both Keyboard and Debug_Txt have the same 'sid' value (72). Same workround should apply. I found and fixed one more problem for the next build where it could go wrong again if you copy and paste between projects, is that what you were doing?

  Closing, this is by design. The 'run' button is actually 'run layout', and closing the second project leaves you on an event sheet. Just switch to a layout tab and it enables.

  If the divisor is 0, set the output to 0. Otherwise if the divisor is not 0, do the division.

  DFOX - we just fixed a bug today that prevented the Steam build of C2 starting up on some systems. Hopefully it covers you. We should have a new version out in a day or two.

  Closing, and ugh, please never use MediaFire, it's got so many adverts with fake download buttons I have to hunt for the real one. Use Dropbox, it's way better!

  Don't draw the helmet and weapon on to the player sprite if they are interchangeable, use separate objects for them. Otherwise you will waste huge amounts of memory.

  Closing as duplicate of this issue. Currently 'every tick' still evaluates the seconds count every tick, which means "every choose(3, 6) seconds" most likely just runs every 3 seconds. Workaround: use a variable (every 'secondstime' seconds), and change the variable again in the event.
