  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines and don't use third party plugins (this one uses Pode iframe). Your .capx attachments should be new projects made from scratch demonstrating solely the problem being described. This is particularly important since the 'wait' action is commonly misunderstood and does not suspend all event execution; make sure you're clear on how it works.

  Nice catch, thanks for the report... not sure how this one went so long without noticing! Fixed for next build.

  Closing as not a bug. The 'Button: on clicked' trigger does not fire if the button is invisible or disabled. However you have 'Is touching button' in an OR block, and the touch object is set to use mouse input. By design, 'Is touching object' just checks if there is a touch within the object's rectangle regardless of its settings, so this is working correctly.

  Can't reproduce in either Chrome or Firefox here. Make sure you didn't previously deny permission in preview, otherwise the browser will block any access from localhost ever again unless you go in to settings and clear the block.

  Last I checked it worked on a real device, are you sure the simulator supports this?

  Closing as not a bug. See 'Expecting math calculations to be exact' under Common mis-used events and gotchas. The errors occur at the CPU hardware level and affect all software on your computer, not just Construct 2.

  The problem probably stems from the 'Move at angle' action, which calculates cos(angle) and sin(angle), which are often slightly imprecise. Even so the correct solution is to compare within a small range instead of expecting exact results. In fact your example does not use delta-time so is framerate dependent; even better is to use dt and a one-off action once it goes below a threshold.

  The next build's HTTP server explicitly disables caching, let me know if this helps when r174 is out.

  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines (provide a minimal .capx example) otherwise there's nothing we can do, it's just a nice error message to look at and wonder what could possibly be wrong.

  I fixed some rounding errors and also got integer scale to base off device pixels instead of CSS pixels for the next build. I think this will fix it, the other emulators don't seem to start in VS for me apart from the default, so let me know how it works for you when r174 is out.

  Closing as not a bug, it looks like your calculations are incorrect. A common mistake is to use WindowWidth and WindowHeight when really you mean to use the viewport dimensions (e.g. ViewportRight("layer") - ViewportLeft("layer") instead of WindowWidth). If you really think there is a bug please submit a new report with as few events and objects as possible - this should be demonstrable with a single event/object if there really is an issue.

  'Regenerate obstacle map' takes 1 tick to update so won't be available unless you add a 'Wait'. Closing as won't fix, but I updated the manual entry to clarify this.

  The maximum spritesheet size is 2048x2048, but if it can fit on a smaller power of two size (1024x1024, 512x512 etc) then it will. Since every image gets a 1px transparent border added around it, the most efficient size is two pixels smaller than a power-of-two size. For example 126x126 will have a border added bringing it up to 128x128, and then that can fit perfectly on any size spritesheet (2 across on 512x512, 4 across on 1024x1024, 8 across on 2048x2048).
