  • Why aren't you using the asm.js version? It should be around 3x faster.

  • The Linux NW.js export is for x86-based CPUs. The Raspberry Pi is an ARM system so needs a separate build, which doesn't exist yet unfortunately.

    Your best bet is to try to get a HTML5 export running in Chromium. Last I tried if you enabled their experimental graphics driver you could get WebGL, but it wasn't very fast and was pretty unstable. I think they're still working on it though so it may be getting better, I just haven't checked for a while.

  • Ideally there would be several translators involved so nobody has to do that much work, and it means there are more views on how the translation should be done, which if everyone comes to an agreement on best terminology and such, should help make it better quality. However if someone does an exceptional amount of work we may be willing to somewhat increase the reward, but this is done at our discretion and we cannot make any guarantees about further rewards beyond the 2000 contribution mark.

  • can we alter the translation so it makes good grammar and sentence form while keeping the formating for the system reference and all that comes with it?

    Yes, you can rearrange those placeholders anywhere, so long as the translated string includes the same placeholders somewhere. For example if the string was "foo {0} bar {1}", you could have a translation "{1} {0} baz ban" (assuming that made grammatical sense).

    [quote:3ou7o3mg]now while some are pretty straight forward i need to understand what {my} stands for? is it the object name? or something else?

    See the original post: "There is a special placeholder {my} used for behaviors." Basically it substitutes the behavior name and icon there. I admit, it's not a great name for a placeholder, but we're kinda stuck with it now.

    [quote:3ou7o3mg]another problem i was confused with was the tree tabs to translate in, one two and a few while in left side the given sentences/expressions are only available for one and tow tab and then under all Plural: expression string which cant be translated.

    what we add in the tab named other?

    I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to here, but some strings with plural forms have tabs for the different plural types, e.g. for plural form "one" the string might be "{0} result", and "other" might be "{0} results". The plural forms depend on the language, I'm not sure which languages use which forms though.

    [quote:3ou7o3mg]3rd problem... i think is not a typo but better to check there is plenty of sentences or descriptions of actions and behaviors that say somethings along the lines of .... value in pixel per second per second. does the double per second is the math reference?

    It's correct. Speeds are in pixels per second, and acceleration is a change in speed over time, so it's pixels per second per second.

  • You should already be able to read from the WebGL backbuffer... the main problem is doing so is incredibly slow, since it stalls the entire GPU pipeline to synchronously read back data. This is a fundamentally huge overhead even to read 1 pixel.

    Do whatever you need to do to control your own sanity though

    Yeah, well, towards that I'm going to close this thread now. All I want is for me and the rest of the Scirra staff to be able to do our jobs without receiving abuse. That's not up for debate, and I'm not prepared to discuss it any further. It should not need any further explaining. It is the sole point I want to make here: there is a minimum standard of behavior that is required. If you can't do that, then you should leave.

    Do you really think "don't be abusive to the staff" is some kind of heavy regulation?

    You know, the forum is really only a fraction of what we deal with. You don't see things like when someone digs up a Scirra staff member's personal social media account and spews a ton of vile abuse at them. It is totally unacceptable and makes everyone's lives harder. We have zero tolerance for that or anything that remotely approaches it. It simply can't be allowed. We have the right to go about our jobs with a basic level of treatment. This is the kind of backdrop to why I am really serious about enforcing this.

    We only shut down forum threads where people cannot abide by basic rules of civilised conduct. There is plenty of discussion on the forums that I don't necessary like, but tolerate because people abide by our basic rules of conduct.

    Do you mean to defend people's right to be abusive to Scirra staff? How is that even up for debate? It is so completely unacceptable that I strongly encourage anyone who thinks that to leave. Go and use someone else's software if you really think that.
