  If you mean WebGL shaders, then those aren't supported in CocoonJS right now, but they've actually announced WebGL support is coming soon.

  The blend mode property (which works without WebGL) ought to work, but a quick test turned up some bugs which I reported to Ludei. It might work in your own project though.

  package.json is in <install>/exporters/html5/node-webkit. You could try importing the .jar as a project file. But I think you're crazy for trying this.

  With a license you can also use the node-webkit exporter to make desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux.

  mchulet - did you make a post in the Bugs forum? I won't find it on my next bug hunt if you leave it here.

  Can you post a minimal .capx reproducing the problem and post it to the Bugs forum with full steps to reproduce? Then I'll see if I can take a look and get it fixed for the next beta.

  I'll see if I can add a 'On load failed' trigger to the next build.

  Have you tried the latest beta? We already fixed a bug related to this recently.

  I've made a few tweaks to continuous preview for the next build. Hopefully it will work a little smoother then.

  Save is asynchronous and hasn't completed until 'On save complete'. So if you do Save and Destroy Sprite in one event, the destroy will actually happen before the save and therefore get saved with it.

  Also note UIDs are saved as well, so when loading objects restore with the same UIDs they had at the time of the save. (Otherwise lots of games would be broken!)

  You're right, it looks like a bug in CocoonJS. I've reported it to them, hopefully they'll fix it soon.

  1. We're planning to implement CocoonJS's accelerated Box2D physics engine in future. Hopefully this will solve performance issues on mobile.

  2. Yep - see the Javascript SDK

  3. Yep - try the User Media object and Touch object (GPS isn't supported yet, but could be with the Javascript SDK, or we may support it officially in future as well)

  4. That should work with the Javascript SDK, providing it works in Javascript

  5. Yep, also included in the SDK download is a custom effect template.

  We had some bug reports recently about games failing to run on Dropbox, but it looked like a problem with the host (some images would fail to download). I'd recommend using a real server anyway if at all possible, since these personal file hosts aren't really designed for this type of thing.

  As the r124 release notes pointed out, generally network stuff isn't included in savegames. Things like the AJAX object and WebSockets are completely skipped when saving and loading, because it doesn't really make sense to save or load them. The same goes for any multiplayer features - it really doesn't make sense to save on the client, since the server ought to have the only real instance of the game. So yes, no need to implement save or load there.

  Oh, I think I should mention - it's designed so you normally preview at least once (to establish a gameplay state), then you continuously preview after that. Maybe it's broken if you continuously preview right away, I'd better check that...
