  zsangerous - did you read the Dictionary manual entry which has a description? If you ever wonder what a feature is for or what it does, looking it up in the manual should be the first thing you do.

  You could also use a global Dictionary object, which allows you to set and get keys by a string expression, so you can use the expression you gave above.

  I'm not sure I understand the purpose of this plugin. Why would you do your example instead of just a 'Sprite - set angle' action directly? What does it offer over the Function object even?

  The only way you can do step 6 that I can think of is to create a giant combo box with a list of every property across all plugins that you can think of. Then you'd have a giant switch-case of the combo index to the actual property that needs to be set or retrieved. That will survive minification and object properties being reordered, but is a pretty lousy user experience. Your plugin idea is kind of against the grain of how C2 is designed.

  We made some fixes for this in r97, can you still reproduce the problem there?

  Rezl - I'm not sure that tutorial is the best thing to follow because it looks like it could break a lot of websites - I think this is the only thing you need to add to your hosts file:

  27.0.0.1 localhost

  ::1 localhost #[IPv6]

  Does adding only that help fix it?

  Unless you continuously read thousands of items per second, performance of either way is not going to be important.

  Not sure what's happening. Does turning off WebGL affect it on machines where the sprite looks blurry?

  This isn't actually a Construct 2 bug but is a stupid problem with the Safari browser. If you don't install Quicktime, Safari completely removes any audio support at all in a way which is not standards compliant, and this breaks any javascript which tries to play audio, which obviously includes Construct 2 games. If you install Quicktime, it works.

  Maybe I can add a special alert for Safari for Windows. But it's really not a very good browser for Windows (it's much better on Mac) and I don't think many people use it, so I don't suppose it's important other than to stop scaring people who are testing their games on as many browsers as they can find.

  twdead - what do you mean? I believe the information I gave is correct, and I'm not sure what you're referring to.

  I think if you use less than 20 seconds of gameplay in the video from each game, then you are probably allowed to use it without permission as "fair use". But IANAL.

  Please see how to report bugs. I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Can you tell us what you are doing step-by-step, what you see happen, and what you expect to happen?

  It could be a problem with Facebook's servers. If you check the browser error console when it happens, what does it say?

  The correct way to use query strings is:

  index.php?score=a&level=b

  not this:

  index.php?&score=a&level=b

  Apart from that, this is not the best place to ask questions about PHP - it would be better to find a programming forum, or ask on a site like StackOverflow.
