  If you use letterbox fullscreen mode, you don't really need to worry about a minimum resolution (it will just scale down), and you only favour one aspect ratio over another (since if the user has a different aspect ratio black bars will appear and it will still play fine). I think in the long term there is a big move from 4:3 to 16:9, so I'd design for 16:9. Of course, the other option is to use just 'Scale' mode and design it to handle different aspect ratios, but that can be tricky.

  The bundle you get with the free edition you can use in tutorials and examples.

  The bundle you get when you purchase a license should not be shared with anyone who doesn't have a license.

  Have you read the performance tips manual entry?

  kiyoshi - what exactly do you mean by "different picking scopes"?

  In terms of performance, don't waste your time.

  In terms of how manageable your events will be, 1 * difficulty is probably shorter and easier to handle for you.

  It's because the phone's status bar has changed the aspect ratio of the game.

  See supporting multiple screen sizes.

  I don't think there's a convincing use case for allowing dt to go above 0.1. Most games become unstable and unplayable. Why would it be welcome in certain games?

  I found and fixed the issue in Kyatric's capx example. However since I don't have .capx files from vnHarry or iunkn, I cannot confirm that it is fixed for you as well, but I would think it is likely that it is fixed. This fix will go in to the next beta release (104).

  ryguydavis - we cannot investigate problems unless we have a .capx files for the project. Exported projects cannot be reverse engineered in to .capx files.

  If it's a graphics card driver bug, all bets are off - anything could change it.

  Your video doesn't play in Windows Media Player, did you use an uncommon encoder?

  We really can't change it, because it would break too many projects that depend on it now.

  Also, this used to not be supported, and other users told us they missed it and wished objects would flip or mirror when they go in to negative width or height! So I guess it's a matter of taste or dependent on what you're trying to achieve. Still, changing things causes big compatibility problems and I don't see why we should go through that if it already does the job.

  Do they actually have a reasonable market share?

  If you play a game in the device browser does it work, and is it reasonably fast? If not then it's probably not powerful enough to bother trying to get the games running on.

  You mean in the parameters dialog? It's always done that!

  That looks like a glitch, can you share a .capx demonstrating the issue?

  We have ideas to improve the reusability and modularity of events in future in C2. Unfortunately our todo list is so long we may not be able to get round to it quickly.
