  • It looks like the server is responding 415 Unsupported media type. It's probably an issue with the server configuration or the way you make the request.

  • Make sure you wait for the "ready to use offline" message when loading a new version. Otherwise it won't have finished saving it for use offline. If you did see that message then everything should work offline.

  • A function that is not called has no performance overhead.

    Unless you call tens of thousands of functions per tick, the CPU overhead will probably be negligible.

    You can always make your own measurements too.

  • You should not need either permission. Camera permission is to use the device camera (which canvas snapshots don't need). Local Storage works without any permission - it just stores within the app's own storage, the "External storage write permission" option is only to write outside of that, e.g. to SD cards or system storage, which Local Storage doesn't provide. (It's a compatibility option in case some Cordova plugins need it.)

  • In short, it's not possible to prevent cheating if the server just believes what the client tells it. All you can do is try to make it complicated and moderate any obviously invalid score submissions.

  • IIRC it was complicated and it's not clear why it would be necessary so it was omitted.

    Tilemaps are usually used for large-scale level design. Why would you need it as part of a hierarchy?

  • It's important to clearly explain feature suggestions, such as precisely what it would do, and why existing features are not sufficient to cover it, in order for your suggestion to be considered. This and more is explained in the feature suggestion guidelines. For example if it seems another feature will do what you want, but you didn't mention it or explain why it's insufficient, it will likely be closed on the assumption you did not know that feature exists. This is very common - we get a lot of people requesting features that are already supported.

    I would advise posting a new suggestion that makes it clearer precisely what you're requesting and why it is necessary, as per the suggestion guidelines.

  • We offer monthly pricing which can be used for short-term maintenance tasks like this without having to pay for a whole year.

    The build service constantly requires a lot of time and effort to maintain, as well as regular server bills to pay to run it. It's simply not economical to offer it in the free edition. We would lose money.

  • Are you sure the device volume is turned up and it's not in silent mode?

  • That's the project sampling property instead. Currently this is only supported project-wide.

  • It's entirely possible - all the option does is round both the scroll position and object positions. You can round those positions yourself on a per-instance basis.

    If you allow fractional scrolling though it gets tricky though: if the left of the viewport is at say 100.5, then you will need to position an object at a 0.5 offset in order to have it aligned to a pixel on-screen. It is probably easiest to always round the scroll position, so you know if an object position is rounded then it will be in the right place.

  • It looks like a bug. It must be something specific about what you're doing, as I've never seen that and as far as I know it's working for everyone else. Please report it to our issue tracker following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to investigate.
