This won't work when daylight saving timezone changes - in that case adding 24hrs can either stay on the same day, or be two days ahead.

Date calculations are much more complicated than they first seem.

I didn't like that C3 can't read my clipboard for copy and pasting graphics :D

C3 can copy/paste images in Chromium-based browsers.

Side question, any chance we can get a desktop version?

Use the "Install as app" option in Chromium-based browsers and it looks and works just like a desktop version.

I'm afraid it's impossible to know what happened from just this information. If you can identify steps that cause a project to be corrupted, please file an issue. Other than that, I'd advise restoring a backup.

See the built-in Detecting input method example.

It is intentional: currently all exported files are flattened to a single directory. It was done years ago probably as it simplified some cases around fetching project files, but it's probably a mistake. However it is now difficult to change as fixing that would break all existing projects that depend on the flat folder structure.

The IObjectClass method getPickedInstances() returns an array of all picked instances in an event.

The scope in modules works per-file rather than globally.

This is all covered in the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series. I'd recommend going through that to learn the basics of JavaScript, scope, and how it all works in Construct.

IIRC you only actually need a Mac to publish to the app store, but you should definitely have a real device to test on. That's the only way you can be sure your app actually works and runs well.

AFAIK NW.js does not support Linux on ARM chips, and the Raspberry Pi uses an ARM chip. It only works on Intel-based chips such as those commonly found in PCs and laptops. Raspberry Pis come with Chromium though so web exports can be run in the browser.

Also on Linux the name of the executable file is the name of your project ("Swimming" in this case).

OK, I can reproduce an issue saving a project folder. We'll probably issue a patch release for that tomorrow.

In the mean time you can either roll back to r277, or clear recent projects in settings and use a different save option for the time being.

If you use thing.addEventListener("tick", callback), then the callback will only run if thing fires an event named "tick". Otherwise, nothing happens.

Check the documentation for which objects fire which events. In Construct, "tick" is only fired by runtime.
