  • It's actually not a hard concept to get your head around - an AJAX request is a bit like opening the page in a browser, and the returned data (LastData) is the text that appears in the browser page. Still, a tutorial would be useful.

  • The platform behavior has 'Speed' and 'MovingAngle' expressions which describe the velocity in polar coordinates, and 'dx' and 'dy' expressions which describe the velocity in cartesian coordinates.

    We're still working on the manual - when it's done it will cover expressions!

  • sqiddster, as far as I can tell it works fine. Can you upload a .capx showing it not working?

  • We're planning an arcade, but it's at the end of a list of other similarly big projects.

  • The browser right-click menu can't be changed, because, well, it's the browser's menu!

    However, as the other posts indicate, you can always make your own menu out of sprites and text or whatever, and have that shown.

    You can already save your project to a folder and overwrite the image files there... you just need to have Construct 2 closed. Is that something you need to do with Construct 2 still open?

    What do you mean by sprite reload?

  • Setting up PHP and a database is a reasonably complex thing to do, needing some technical knowledge. I don't think Scirra is the place to go to learn about PHP and databases. There are already loads of free tutorials to find to learn about that - I think any tutorial on Scirra should assume you know about PHP and databases already, and just show the part where you access it via the AJAX object.

  • I've looked in to it and Android 3.0+ has hardware accelerated canvas. Not sure when that's coming to phone handsets (it seems to be tablet only right now), but I'm sure it will soon!

  • Both Game Maker and Construct 2 have a basic free edition, and the option to get a license which has more features and less limitations. They're equal in that regard. I think you'll choose Construct 2 because it's better and cheaper than Game Maker HTML5 :) Or, if you prefer, you can stick to the Free Edition at no cost at all.

    when u add new action and the window with actions listed opens, u have to click in it to be able to scrool up and down.

    would be nice that u could do that without clicking .

    That's because the focus is to the search box in the top right. It's intentional, because if you get in to the habit of typing a few characters from the object/action/condition you want, you can usually find stuff much quicker than mouse - and even end up completely 'typing in' events without touching the mouse.

    So if I change that I think it would annoy the pros who like how quick it is to do it that way...
