An alternative is to make a plugin (written in javascript) that makes the javascript calls you need.

IE9 doesn't support strict mode so will let you get away with strict mode errors. Try on the latest Chrome - I find their dev tools are best anyway.

They have a lot of large objects with detailed animations. That probably makes the download size bigger. They probably knowingly opted for that in order to show off HTML5 - there's no reason games you make have to be that big.

The latest releases have introduced some plugin-breaking changes. These plugins will have to be updated to work with the latest builds...

Don't forget Tom! Tom's working hard on keeping the site running (harder than it looks), sorting out the server, spreading the word, helping people by email, and everything. The site would fall apart pretty quick without him!

Construct can generally make any kind of 2D game, but as gammabeam says we're still working on some features. You can get quite far though, try the space blaster demo on the site!

Thanks for the kind words! If you have any questions or interesting results or issues from teaching with C2, I'm more than happy to listen, would be great to hear how it goes!

In C2 it says

Type mismatch = does not work with 'integer' and 'string' (use & to build strings)
Oops, looks like a bug. Will try have that fixed for next build.

There are tonnes of ways to switch a variable from 0 to 1! Here's another, using conditions in expressions, which is one of my favourite "hidden" features:

m = 1 ? 0 : 1

Conditional expressions work like this: condition ? result_if_true : result_if_false

So as you can see when m is 1 it's set to 0, and vice versa.
