  Well, doesn't letterbox scale do most of that for you? It will handle different aspect ratios, wildly different screen sizes, and different pixel densities too, as well as providing a basic implementation of handling orientation (just scale to fit the new size). You can create a customised anchor by using the system viewport expressions. Are you sure you are not making it unnecessarily complicated by reinventing the wheel in crop mode?

  farsmile90 - we get a great deal of email including many different people sending us .capx files, and I'm afraid I've already lost your .capx in the mail archives. This is why it's better to share .capx's publicly if possible. Can you resend it or at least tell me what email address you sent it from so I can work out which emails relate to this report?

  It looks OK in r103.2 (a quiet update). Have you tried that?

  I can't reproduce any issue in Chrome 21, is there anything else you have to do to make the problem occur?

  Are you using r103.2?

  It's not a done deal: they might mean they support HTML5 websites, not necessarily games. Even if they support canvas, there are unanswered questions which can only really be answered by trying it out: is it actually fast enough to be useful? Does it support WebGL? Does it support the Gamepad API, otherwise how do you detect input? Etc.

  Despite that, we are 100% on board to support any consoles which support HTML5 - they just have to have a decent enough implementation that the games run well. If they're software rendered with no way to detect controller input, it would be a let down...

  I'm afraid we don't have any upcoming discounts planned. You could try entering our next competition though - we're trying to think up a good idea for a new one!

  1. Not a bug - Construct 2 uses high resolution timers where available (which would have microsecond precision), and by default only runs at 60 FPS (every 16 ms), which means you cannot rely on the timer ever reading an exact value. This is not an issue with C2, it's just a general game design point you have to deal with when using any technology.

  2. I don't understand this problem. What is the 'g' key? Please be sure to clearly report exactly how to reproduce the problem, what you observe happen, and what you expected to happen instead. Be sure to also remove any events not relevant to the problem. It would be useful to create separate .capx files for each individual problem you want to report.

  This should never have worked, because there are no Solid or Platform objects in the layout. The Bound To Layout behavior is keeping the object in the layout, but only by overriding its position - technically the object is still in a constant freefall, which is why it can't jump.

  I have no idea why this would work before r103, since it's designed wrong. Perhaps a bug that allowed it to jump when in freefall was fixed. You must use solid or platform objects for the player to walk on in order for the platform behavior to work correctly.

  You have to click inside an iframe to give it 'keyboard focus'. Does that help fix the problem?
