  You will probably also want to pop the player in front of the NPC based on the Y position relationship to each other.

  there's a plugin for just such a thing.

  I read somewhere, one surefire way to protect your own IP in the event that someone tries to claim that they invented it first, is to put all of your concept art, design documents etc etc into a package, and mail it to yourself, then *don't* open it. This effectively proves that it was at least created before the date of mailing. Only open it in the event of some sort of copy infringement claim.

  Tobye I'm confused. Do you want it to spawn somewhere between the maximum layout width? or just what's visible on the screen wherever you happen to be scrolling at the time?

  Use a percentage of the layout.width and layout.height instead of hard numbers

  that way, no matter what resolution, your object i will always spawn at 50% or whatever of the screen.

  for example.

  spawn at x.layout.width/2 will spawn your object at the center of the top of the screen no matter what resolution

  Sounds like they spent a ton of time re-inventing the wheel. A game like that could have been made much easier using C2 for example. He spent months porting XNA to IOS. For what?!?!?!

  Check out this neat little article about the WII-U browser gamepad tests

  lostdecadegames.com/wii-u-browser

  No Audio support

  No Web Audio API

  No WebGL, WebSockets, or File API

  No AppCache, some security

  No WebWorkers

  Framerate is very low (~10 FPS for tested games)

  ou don't need to be able to draw, you just need to be able to keep going until it looks good.

  so true.

  I find this hard to get over myself as well. But draw something...anything...then step back, ask yourself or other's "what's working" what isn't and improve it. Then repeat.
