  You can implement something like this yourself with events, but I guess we need to add Classic's old 'instant hit' or exact-collision bullet behavior feature back to C2.

  It's not possible for Construct 2 to automatically apply dt to actions like 'rotate clockwise', since it would break events like "On spacebar pressed: rotate 90 degrees".

  We're based in the UK, we don't have anything like that here!

  See performance tips. Performance is generally mainly to do with how many sprites are on-screen at once. If you destroy and old sprite and create a new one, or switch between several animations in a sprite, it's probably equally fast as just having one ordinary sprite.

  I'm not clear on the exact sequence of steps here, can you post in more detail and see the link Kyatric pointed out?

  WaterlooErik - I recently heard from a user that WebWorks rejected files with '-' and '_' characters, which are crucial for Construct 2 to work. Has this (silly) limitation been fixed?

  Also, I don't have a BB10 device. I would be willing to spend some time making sure C2 can export to BB10 easily if I had a real device to test with... any chance you could send me one? Feel free to email me at ashleycbr@scirra.com if you want to discuss further.

  I just checked r110.2 and it exports the correct version number.

  The r110.2 release briefly had the wrong link, maybe try re-downloading and reinstalling again?

  I don't think either of these things are specific to Construct 2, they are more to do with how the Chrome Web Store works. Have you tried contacting Google about it?

  Construct 2 does not connect to the internet when previewing a game, everything is processed locally. Usually preview is instant, it's unusual to have a long preview time. Perhaps the tutorial Troubleshooting Construct 2's preview server will help?

  You should not add any .uistate.xml files to source control, since they are specific to your UI setup and don't contain any project data. They will definitely conflict a lot if you put them in source control, so make sure you don't!

  Has this actually helped improve the framerate? Collisions are surprisingly low CPU, since usually 99% of objects in the layout can be immediately determined not overlapping, since their bounding boxes don't overlap.

  If you share your .capx I could see if there's anything more likely to be slowing it down.

  A full save state feature is on the todo list, although I'm afraid we can't give any ETAs for when specific features will arrive. In the mean time WebStorage suffices for simpler games, but like you describe the full-state save/load is pretty essential for bigger games.

  PixelPalette - same question, are you sure you chose 'Export for appMobi' and not 'Export for HTML5 website' when exporting?

  They should both work identically.

  Moving to the Classic forum, the Arcade only supports Construct 2 games.
