  Closing as won't fix: 'Off' for fullscreen mode isn't supported in node-webkit. There's no point using it anyway, just switch to letterbox scale and it works.

  Closing as not a bug: by the time 'start of layout' runs the objects have already been created and the Sine behavior has already chosen the size that it will oscillate at, and then it overrides anything you set later on. You should be able to work around this using the 'set magnitude' action etc.

  I wouldn't really recommend Classic as a learning example - a lot of the code is a terrible mess of things you really don't want to do.

  Only Steam can answer that question, but personally I think "Windows desktop" for traditional apps and "Windows Store" for the new "metro" style apps is the best description.

  If you want to see the execution trace, why not just open the debugger, set a breakpoint on the first event, then step through each event one by one?

  Just enable unbounded scrolling on the layout and use events to impose your own dynamic limits. "Set canvas size" really only changes the viewport so won't help here.

  That's not possible in Construct 2. Without JS it will do nothing.

  irina - nobody has attempted such an ambitious project with the multiplayer feature yet, so it's not clear. I'd recommend building a small scale prototype and see how it works for you. It already supports UDP and NAT punchthrough though.

  — - node-webkit already supports WebGL on Mac, because Chrome for Mac does too. However it's nice that basically the last major desktop browser now also supports WebGL, since Safari on Mac will also support it.

  GameThirsty - yup, that's the idea - from iOS 8 PhoneGap should be fast and able to use DOM!

  Are you using asm.js physics? That's known not to minify correctly.

  We currently have no plans to run separate signalling servers. The server at multiplayer.scirra.com is running on a high-end dedicated server with a gigabit connection. I don't understand why you would want to run your own signalling server for LAN games - if you are on the same LAN then WebRTC will still connect you directly to each other and the game data travels with virtually zero latency over the LAN. This already happens. No game data travels through the signalling server, it exists solely for peers to find each other, including identifying if users are on the same local network and taking advantage of that. It would seem to be to be a considerable inconvenience to have to configure and host a signalling server for a LAN game when it offers no benefit over connecting to the existing server!

  We use innosetup for Construct 2 itself and it works great.

  If it doesn't work minified then presumably there's some bug in the code and no other minifier will work either. If you're not using third party plugins you should report the issue as a bug.

  There's no WebRTC AFAIK, looks like the only significant new thing for HTML5 games is WebGL. But they usually have several iOS betas in the run up to the main release, and it's possible they'll add more features.

  retrodude - is that happening in Chrome for Android or the stock browser? The stock browser sucks really bad and it would not surprise me if that was a glitch in the browser itself. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing that we can easily work around.
