You can build an APK directly in Construct 3. Just click the Build button after exporting to Android.

It sounds like Cordova is using software rendering for some reason. Are you comparing to the Chrome browser on the same device? What does chrome://gpu say?

Construct 3 adds the canvas element from JavaScript. It should work identically to as if the HTML tag were used instead.

A dumb question Ashley when you said "Then export with C2 and copy the files over to the Mac" means to run an Construct 2 export to NWJS or a regular Export to HTML5?

I meant an NW.js export. As a general rule, each export option only works with its intended platform.

No, that's just papering over the cracks rather than fixing the actual underlying issue. There is data being received but it's not resetting the kill timer for some reason. And the kill timer is important in case the destroy notification was lost in transit, ensuring it reaches an eventually-correct state rather than piling up zombie objects when packet loss occurs.

12thmix - C2/C3 already support WebSockets (which all browsers support), but they require a server to connect to. You can already make a multiplayer game if you want, but you have to write the server. WebRTC makes this easier by not using a server, since it works peer-to-peer.

Honestly I think the best thing to do is just do everything on the Mac if at all possible. Transferring files to Windows and back without losing special file permissions on the symlinks is difficult - I'm not sure if it's even possible, the two OSs treat symlinks differently.

By default you get Crosswalk - a full browser engine - included for Android 4.x compatibility. Set the minimum version to Android 5.0+ and it doesn't include it, resulting in a much smaller APK.

It's not possible because sprites are not HTML elements, so cannot be styled with CSS. They're drawn directly in to a canvas instead. You can however use the full range of WebGL shader effects on them.

Closing, please file C3 bugs here.

FWIW I just tried it in r44 and it seemed to work fine for me. If you're running out of disk space it might have run out of quota, so that might be something to check. The About dialog also shows your quota.

Edge doesn't support WebRTC DataChannels yet, so it won't work until Microsoft adds support for that.

You're right, there doesn't seem to be a good reason for this. I filed a C3 issue to change it.

I guess it should apply to hidden layers too? If you drag-and-drop or paste instances to a hidden layer, just like with a locked layer you still can't do anything to those instances until you change the layer settings.
