  Perhaps with a capx, using the xml structure to create nodes.

  The exported code is pretty much unreadable.

  Well many devices that run Android are more powerful than a Ps2, or a Wii, and probably 10x more games.

  The quality is somewhat arguable.

  What license did you get, and what method of export did you use?

  A campaign to get more people to buy a license might be nice.

  Its definitely doable, it's just that it requires a substantial effort, and planning.

  At least 8 frames for each sprite. Animations would add to that literally exponentially.

  Then you need a deep understanding of isometric, there are no easy buttons.

  There is a template up in the Scirra store.

  Its doable, but you have to balance everything.

  Tilemaps are ideal for this.

  What do your initial tests reveal?

  OK, um parallax offset is considered outside of the layout.

  Will have to clamp the random instead, but getting a normal looking distribution for randomly placed objects in parallax is coming out funny.

  Take a look at the timer behavior.

  Ashley

  Not sure if this is a bug, but it looks like the Destroy Outside Layout is destroying objects within a parallax layer offset.

  Is the behavior based on the objects layer in the editor?

  Click on a layer, look in properties, click effects, take a look at Bumpmapping.

  Storing x,y,and angle is redundant as you can reference objects directly.

  The canvas is already an array.

  Check out layers render cells.
