  It's difficult for us to support DOM-less engine. We see DOM-less as a disadvantage, not an advantage, because we support so many features that happen in the browser layer such as WebGL, Web Audio API, WebSockets, etc. etc.

  Ah, good catch, should be fixed in the next build.

  Oops - the engine gets stuck in an infinite loop, probably something I accidentally changed in r122. I've fixed it for the next build though.

  The error message is displayed incorrectly (whoops), which should be fixed in the next build. Hopefully that will tell you a more useful diagnostic than just the hex. However I'm 99% sure this is a graphics card driver issue.

  Don't disable WebGL, it will make the game slower. Just set sampling to 'point' in project properties.

  Don't confuse the window size and the viewport size.

  If you zoom in or out, or scale using the 'fullscreen' options, the window size does not change. Instead, the viewport changes.

  So where you use WindowWidth, you probably mean to use (ViewportRight("layer") - ViewportLeft("layer")).

  What's wrong with letterbox scale?

  On the title screen, if the user presses a keyboard key, clicks the mouse or presses a gamepad button, set a global variable 'hideTouchControls' to 1. If the global variable is 1, make the touch control objects invisible!

  It's difficult to help with large projects. It's easier if you can reproduce the problem in a new, empty project, which you'd also be willing to share.

  Well, WebStorage saves to a user's hard drive, which is how it persists the data even after turning off your computer. But the browser handles the storage rather than allowing you to choose a filename.

  Closing, please include a .capx and use the full bug report form. We cannot help you without all this information.

  There's a 'replace object' feature coming in the next build :)

  The IE engine doesn't support the standardised motion or orientation events yet, so we added support in the Touch plugin to use the Windows 8-app specific libraries to detect motion and orientation. However that will only work if the device has the necessary hardware.

  It does support accelerometer (but not the 'with G' expressions) and inclinometer in Windows 8 apps, but only if the device has support for them.
