  If you store everything in units of 10^15, then internally you are dealing with smaller numbers that won't hit the limit. When you display them to the user, you can just add a few zeros on the end so it looks the same. So this shouldn't break anything or make any visible difference to the user, but means the actual stored numbers are much smaller so fit within the precision limits.

  It looks correct. What were you expecting to happen instead?

  -Is an empty alpha equally expensive to draw as an alpha with lets say 50 % opacity?

  Yes.

  -If the alpha is empty, do I save much performance beyond just memory by cropping 30 % of the 128x128 texture?

  The source texture only affects memory usage. If you draw it at the same size, it will use the same fillrate. If you draw it smaller, it will use less fillrate.

  Inlining is not necessary - and will actually degrade performance - if the server supports HTTP/2.

  No it's an idle game, it needs big numbers.

  I don't see why this means you can't use smaller numbers.

  Are you using the iOS simulator? If so it's a known bug in the simulator (WebKit bug 191064). It should work on a real device.

  Can't you just use smaller numbers? E.g. use units of 10^15, and then all your other numbers will fit easily.

  Construct 2 doesn't have an integer type by the way, it's all floats. Are you sure you're using C2 and not something else?

  It sounds like you want a limited revolute joint.

  Yeah, this is standard network address translation (NAT) stuff. I think the multiplayer concepts tutorial covers it. TURN servers help work around it by relaying bandwidth, but you have to run the server yourself.

  They're just general utility functions. to_clamped_degrees just did radians-to-degrees conversion and ensured the result was in [0, 360) range, it shouldn't be hard to write your own equivalent.

  I cannot find any contributors on POEditor with the username "gogdzl". Please also note that the reward programme has now ended since the translation previously reached 100% for the first time (although it is no longer at 100%), so contributions since then do not qualify for rewards.

  Take a look at the built-in Ghost Shooter tutorial example. Its events cover this.
