  steveyaar - please make sure all your forum posts are constructive. If you post things like "awesome thread", "nice post", "thanks" or just repeating what the thread is about, you risk being mistaken for a spammer and deleted (those are the tactics spammers use to look like legit users when they just want to spam our forum with promotional links).

  Instead of choosing the family in the 'Create object' action, just choose either Sprite1 or Sprite2.

  steveyaar - links aimed at promotion are removed outright, without notice, regardless of the user. So just don't post promotional links.

  naelian - all browsers have very good standards-compliant javascript support, so this would really surprise me. I actually would think it works identically in all browsers and for some reason you've only spotted it in Safari. Still, if you think it's a bug make a new .capx showing it and make a new thread following the steps in 'how to report bugs' - sounds like a different issue to the one reported here.

  naelian - have you tested other browsers? If it works the same in other browsers, it is not specific to Safari.

  This is sort of a bug, Construct Classic would work as intended, but C2 doesn't. C2 will still evaluate the expression every tick, so it will more or less be "Every 2 seconds". Yann's fix is the workaround. Will see if I can fix in C2 itself.

  Which browsers are you using? Can you share your game link so we can investigate ourselves?

  How about inverting gravity when you want to stick to the ceiling, and putting it back when you want to fall off?

  I think the OP wants to use sub-events. You can add a whole other event with conditions and actions that runs after the previous event's actions.

• Try Construct 3

  A full blown debugger is something that has been on our todo list for a while, but it is very complicated. So it's not in our immediate plans. Chrome's debugger is very good, but our engine is so complicated it's generally not practical to use it for Construct 2 games. You can find things if you know where to look, but it can take a long time to find them because they're all buried deep in different data structures and in different places. I'm afraid the only way to go for now is roll-your-own. We're aware this is not ideal so hopefully it will be improved in future.

  Check out CocoonJS and directCanvas. Neither are quite ready for production use yet, but they can both play multichannel audio, support multitouch, and run pretty fast. So hopefully it will be working great with these in the near future!

  chrisbrobs - Opera is currently not at all hardware accelerated by default (so it doesn't use your graphics card to draw). This makes it so much slower that even on desktop the framerates can be lower than mobile. Also you should never take real performance measurements in an emulator - emulators can significantly reduce performance and give unrealistic results. You should only check on real browsers and devices when measuring performance.

  Try Google Chrome - bet you get a solid 60 fps on desktop then.

  CocoonJS always uses hardware acceleration. That's what makes it so fast!
