  This has been reported a few times, but it really only makes sense the way around when you say "set speed" then "set angle of motion". When the speed is 0, it is not moving at all, let alone in any particular direction. It's to do with how the bullet calculates its movement internally. Does that make sense?

  Have a look at custom controls in the manual and this tutorial on touch controls.

  Do Firefox and Chrome not start up at all, or do they start up and not show anything? If they start up, does waiting a few seconds and pressing Ctrl+F5 make the game appear?

  If they don't start up at all, have you tried reinstalling them?

  Also, what are your system specs? The preview server might be taking slightly too long to start up.

  — - that .capx doesn't work after opening it, so I guess saving and closing does not affect it.

  The first time the Mouse object became corrupt.

  The second time the Keyboard object became corrupt.

  This time the Playtomic object became corrupt.

  I'm afraid none of the projects you've sent me help me solve this problem. They are all already broken, whereas to fix this I need a project that is not yet broken, and steps to break it. Are you sure you can't think of anything you've done that might have caused this? Whatever you've done, you've done it three times, and each time has broken the project. Perhaps each time was something to do with using the object that became corrupt, or perhaps not. Either way I would love to fix this to make sure it never happens again. Any ideas?

  That's really weird, I don't have a real Windows 8 touch device to test on though. So it might just be a quirk of the simulator, no way to tell until a real device comes out.

  Thanks, good catches. Should be fixed for next build.

  Probably worth a look at supporting multiple screen sizes, especially page 2 which covers HUD alignment.

  There's nothing in the editor, but open the .caproj (or save as a folder project first if a .capx) and near the top the "used-plugins" and "used-behaviors" tags list everything the project uses.

  What do you need it for? If there's a good reason, I could add an option in the editor.

  You could try using: choose("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five") which will return one of those pieces of text at random.

  Are these the system gestures (like a 4-finger swipe) or literally just pinching? What device are you testing on? If you're using a simulator I guess it's not real touch input?

  Our code tells the browser not to handle touch input, because we handle it ourselves, so it seems odd it would still override that.

  It's so the project loads faster. Sounds which aren't played aren't downloaded at all, and music can often be very large and is streamed during the running of the game. I think this is important since often sound can make up the majority of the project file size. Having your project load in 1 minute instead of 4 minutes is worth a little latency on the first time the sounds are played, which you can cover up with preloading. And thanks to the offline cache there will be no delay on the second play.
