  • They'd both run at the same speed, but you should prefer organising things in to different event sheets, just to make your game more manageable to work on!

  • It looks like you're using Physics - that's the most likely cause of slowdown. From the Physics Basics tutorial:

    hysics simulations are very CPU intensive. It can take a lot of processing to work out the proper motion. To make sure your game runs fast, it's recommended that you don't use too many objects at once.

  • We've already done a lot of GC optimisation in Construct 2's runtime to prevent it creating much garbage at all. So I'm sure performance will go up a bit, but we already tried to solve the problem by not creating any garbage for the GC to have to collect. Always good news to hear about JS engine improvements, though!

  • Most of these things are on my todo list, and those which weren't now are! (Including zeropad!)

  • Does it appear when previewing inside Construct 2 in HTTP mode? It shouldn't do. It's intentional that it appears when running from disk after export because like the message says for most games it doesn't work. A few of the problems are:

    • auto-mirror and auto-flip won't work
    • WebGL mode won't work at all
    • sounds won't play in Chrome

    etc.

    To prevent people reporting these as bugs, when really it's a security limitation from running on disk, that prompt appears. You have to preview in HTTP mode (Construct 2 preview or after uploading) for most games to work correctly.

  • I think the touch object will soon support multi-touch, if it doesn't already.

    It does already, and you can also enable mouse input as single-touch input for testing.

    They're separate so if you want you can handle mouse input separately to touch input. Since they're very different forms of input I thought games might want to tweak their method of touch control and mouse control separately, which having separate object allows, or if not you can easily enable mouse input for the touch object and have both the same.

  • Fixed in next build!

  • I can reproduce the delay in #1, but the fact no other browsers does it makes me think it's a bug in Chrome. If it was in our code then the other browsers would do the same, so I think it's a problem with Chrome itself.

    For #2 Firefox always works fine for me, but IE9 sometimes opens blank. Again I have no idea why, because if I hit F12 to look for errors then refresh the page, it works. Again may be an IE bug.

    For #3, I don't know what to do about this because behind the scenes it simply launches a command like "firefox.exe http://localhost...". Some browsers ignore launch commands if the process is still alive but shutting down so maybe if you're launching and closing browsers rapidly it might be that.

    In short I think you're highlighting browser bugs rather than C2 bugs - I'm not sure there's anything here we can do to resolve.

    Edit: can you check yourself for errors in Firefox or IE? Press F12 in IE then refresh the page (it won't show errors that happened before you pressed F12). For Firefox try Ctrl+Shift+J or Ctrl+Shift+K, it will report all errors before that time as well too.

  • Fixed in next build!

  • Oops, fixed in next build.
