  C2 doesn't use any encryption or cryptography itself unless you specifically add a plugin which does that. For example if you use a third-party plugin that does some kind of cryptography.

  UIDs should not be duplicated - they should be unique per instance within the same project. You should probably file a bug if you're seeing one project with the same UID used twice.

  For the Windows Store, you always need at least the same version of Windows or newer. However given the much larger install base and improved UWP support it's probably best just to aim for Windows 10.

  Yes, you need Windows 10 to export to Windows 10. It's Microsoft's limitation, not ours.

  This again... someone brings this up every now and then.

  It really means "no traditional programming required". Try traditional programming. Try Construct 2. They are obviously completely different. The intent is that C2 is far easier to get going with as well, since you don't have to learn the syntax of a traditional typed programming language.

  However we think "no programming required" is the most concise and easiest way to communicate what the purpose of C2 is all about. If you don't like it, you can of course go and use other tools, many of which have a focus on traditional programming languages.

  BTW this topic is irrelevant to the original post, which was about the programming languages used to build C2 itself. You should probably start a new thread if you want to discuss a different topic.

  In the editor, it does actually recycle UIDs, to keep them low-ish. (Otherwise if you deleted all your objects and added a new one, it would have a high UID - this way it goes back to being low.) However at runtime UIDs keep incrementing by 1 for every new object, they are never re-used. The limit is the integer limit of Javascript's double-precision floating point numbers, which is 9,007,199,254,740,992 (9 quadrillion I think that's called?). Hopefully high enough

  Unless you provide a lot more detailed information, such as exactly what you're doing and the text of any error messages, nobody can help you.

  If we charged $0.50 I'm sure some people would still demand that we give them more in the free edition. Some people just want everything for free. We're not going to change this, and this thread is ~5 years old now so closing.

  Nobody can help unless you provide a .capx and a link to your exported game. You should also test C2 r241 in case we already fixed it.

  This is similar to "getting the point of a collision between two objects" - objects don't collide at a point, they have an overlapping region. So in fact the collision would intersect a patch of tiles.

  Have you tried re-exporting with the latest stable release? The release notes describe some fixes that some apps may need: https://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases/r239

  No, it means the signalling server can still work even without any of the listed points. So it *can* still work even without its own publicly reachable address, without SSL and without TURN, but each of those things will help improve connectivity so more people can connect to the signalling server.

  File a bug report if it's not working like you expect.

  C2 does not export comments with the project, they're useless at runtime.

  Also make sure you enable "minify script" when exporting, to make sure the Javascript is mangled to be unreadable.

  Interesting to know the RPi3 needs an extra step - any idea what "plymouth" is?

  Also are the and [/url ] parts necessary? They look like forum BBCode rather than something you put in a config file.
