  This would increase the CPU overhead of drawing the tilemap by a factor of 100 or more, since it would no longer be able to draw regions of tiles in one go (see this blog post). It would likely also introduce new glitches at edges meeting transparency (where there is no tile), since the tile area rendered is too large.

  As ever the workaround is: letterbox integer scale, point sampling, pixel rounding. Seams should never show up with those settings. I've been thinking for a long time of a high-performance workaround for the seams, and I can't come up with anything so far. Meanwhile it works with the right settings. It's not that I don't care, it's a difficult technical problem.

  I lose count of how many APIs are out there. I could probably work full time just writing plugins to integrate with every service that could usefully connect with games and never get anything else done. The plugin SDK is there so you don't have to wait for us to do it.

  I'm not sure, why would you want to wait at all before destroying it? Since it's a variable wait time, when it's nonzero you'll still see that problem. It's just not a pattern of events that you should be using.

  We've had problems with poor AJAX support on WP8 before. I think we will close this as won't fix. WP8.1 is a lot better with its HTML5 support, let me know if you can reproduce any issues there.

  I mean if you can narrow it down to a single object. You can reduce the stock projects even further. A minimal repro means the closest to an empty project that still causes the problem.

  Are you testing Windows Phone 8.0 (IE10) or Windows Phone 8.1 (IE11)? Are you testing universal apps, the Windows Phone 8 export, or the browser itself? Please be precise in your bug reports.

  It should work fine. Share a .capx if it doesn't work for you.

  It's not supported. You can only use 'Request fullscreen' to choose a different mode.

  Your events are wrong: 'hp <= 0 or hpMissile <= 0' is true every tick, and 'Wait' does not block the events. So if it waits for 1 second, it will be true every tick for 1 second (about 60 ticks). That means it queues up 60 waits and executes 'Destroy' 60 times. I guess executing 'Destroy' repeatedly is not what you're after.

  We developed it, and it's open source: https://github.com/AshleyScirra/Graphics-Driver-Updater

  You can do what you like with it. However I was thinking about removing it from C2 - I don't think it correctly handles dual GPUs, which are common in laptops.

  Why not use the Multiplayer plugin?

  Are you really running a server from a C2 game? Using WebSockets usually means you have a seperate central server. It shouldn't matter if the client hangs when switching tab.

  No, because as it stands you need to operate your own payment server to handle payments. Construct 2 games need to be able to handle everything client-side.
