  Object types are actually global. You can create any object from any layout on any other layout.

  Note if an object is placed on any layer in a layout, Construct 2 will pre-load the images for the object when the layout starts. So make sure you avoid placing objects the layout doesn't need, otherwise it may waste memory.

  I'd recommend a real Windows OS, rather than using a VM, to run Construct 2.

  Closing, looks like you just didn't upload all the files.

  Make sure you have both the Free edition and the Personal edition installed, and *both* set to use Beta updates.

  You can probably do it yourself as you say if you think it's important, but we'll probably update it next when jQuery 2.0 comes out, which should be a smaller and faster version for just the latest browsers.

  It's no big deal. All the demos shipping with Construct 2 are kind of intended to be ripped off for your own games.

  Hopefully this helps demonstrate HTML5 is a solid platform for gaming! We've believed this all along and I think this is a good sign others are starting to get on board with it too.

  I usually make the examples and templates mobile-friendly if there's an obvious way to do it, but I wasn't sure how to have touch controls for a driving game. What do you think would work for it?

  Have you seen the TD template that ships with Construct 2?

  Have you got both the Free edition and Personal edition both installed and set to use beta updates on Steam? That's the only way beta updates work.

  If it keeps forgetting your preference, you'll need to ask Valve about this I'm afraid - we can't fix Steam for them.

  Optimisation: don't waste your time. Only the broad strokes tend to matter in performance.

  There are so many different resolutions out there that it's ridiculous to try and target just one of them. It's a much better idea to target a specific aspect ratio and support multiple screen sizes simply by turning on 'Letterbox scale' or something like that.
