I have looked, and the Ubuntu Software Center does not appear to support HTML5 yet. You might have to wait until our desktop app wrapper is ready.

You need to click in a game in an iframe before it will detect keyboard input. Maybe you need to do that?

Our Arcade uses games in iframes too, and we have the same problem, but I think users are pretty used to clicking inside things to get the keyboard input working. (You need to click a window in your OS before it gets keyboard input, too.)

We do not officially support self-built PhoneGap applications. I would highly recommend using PhoneGap Build and making plugins with the Javascript SDK to customise.

I'd go with a Dictionary object. Then you have two options: use the instance variables C2 gives to every object, or use the string-based Dictionary storage (which might be useful for dynamic things).

dhaifyy - maybe upload it to the web (e.g. Dropbox) and when you present make sure you have an internet connection and load it off the web.

1) If you're on Windows 7 or up, you can just import WAV files to Construct 2 and it will dual-encode them to both AAC and Ogg Vorbis automatically for you. That covers all browsers. If you're on XP or Vista for licensing reasons we don't encode to AAC automatically, but you can find free tools to do it yourself. Hopefully on Windows 7 and up it's not a nightmare, it should be quite straightforward.

1b) There's nothing you can really do about it in the Safari browser, but there are various native-app wrappers that can make iOS apps with extra features like audio working. See PhoneGap, directCanvas and CocoonJS.

2) Have a look at Touch controls and a trick to detect input method

Blackberry have pretty good HTML5 support with their latest devices. I've been trying it out and will write up an article if it goes well.

Set 'sampling' to 'point' in Project Properties.

Oops, I think the new options didn't make it in to the 32-bit build, it's only in the 64-bit one :P Woops, will fix for next build.

Out of interest does everyone with the 32-bit C2 have a 32-bit OS as well? I thought 64 bit OSs were common these days.

Currently directCanvas doesn't support Android and PhoneGap doesn't speed up the game, so your only option is CocoonJS right now.

Well, the parallax thing is one of those things we can't win: either this doesn't work or other games don't work. TBH the Anchor behavior is designed for doing that positioning for you, so I think it's OK to use that if the events don't work...
