  This thread is a few months old. Since then a really good workaround has come about: just make a family, add all your objects to it, and add a family instance variable called "name" with text type. Type in all the object names to the instance variable, then you can just use the instance variable to compare the object's name, pick by object name, etc.

  This is really weird. I've checked and double-checked the Platform code and it treats left and right with the exact same piece of code. And yet in this example left and right go at different speeds on slopes.

  I'm stumped. Have you found anything that affects this at all?

  It doesn't really matter ultimately if the CocoonJS launcher is accepted to the app store or not - Ludei are still working on a cloud build service, so you will still be able to upload your project and get a built app for iOS back, regardless of whether their launcher itself is approved. The launcher's basically just for testing.

  What format are the WAV files? Can you share them? It might be that the WAV files are in a format that the AAC codec can read, but the Vorbis codec can't. You should make sure you always use 16-bit PCM WAVs.

  It does look interesting, but it's not being sold by Google as a HTML5 game console - it's other people who have suggested it might work as one. Still, if it did end up being good for gaming, it could be very cool.

  I'm not sure what to do, since nobody else has encountered this issue, or other users with similar issues solved the problem by updating their drivers.

  It may be that there is a bug in the latest driver. You might want to complain to nVidia and ask why they can't make a driver that works with modern software.

  Could you give a few more specifics about what you're expecting to happen, and what you're seeing instead? Not sure what you're referring to when you say it doesn't work.

  Desktop machines tend to have so much memory there's really no problem with loading the entire project on startup. It also makes sure layouts switch quickly in the game (there's no unloading or loading that needs to be done).

  A game that size would be more of a problem for mobile, but as Arima said, we've got features planned to load layout by layout and such.
