  • I think it's all conjecture until you bring real numbers of what works on each engine, on each platform, and a decent offering of the range of different machines.

    But that wasn't my point.

    My point is that there are a lot of baseless complaints about performance that aren't related, and are in fact user error, and that they muddy up the process of figuring out the real issues.

    Sort of what Prominent said.

  • I wasn't talking about known issues.

  • Every case?

    Probably not.

    The problem is that users run into things, and can't discern between a logic issue, and a software problem.

    Then to make things worse you can't just upload a capx that has private assets, and nobody wants to waste time debugging it just to find out it really was a user mistake.

  • Kind of a rock, and a hardplace.

    You can limit what the user can do, to keep them from making mistakes.

    That in turn limits the functionality.

  • From what I've experienced, most times these "bottlenecks" are user related.

    What's really surprising is that it seems to happen so much in an engine that was designed to make it easier, and leave out the code altogether.

    Or could it be that its just easier to blame the engine?

  • There is no direct solution. I've given you a workaround unless, either Ashley, or Ludei, create something to fix it.

    I am not set up to test on Cocoonjs, so I do not know if it will work.

    I did test on Safari, and it does not work.

    Its an Ios problem, so it's doubtful Ashley will add anything to fix it.

    I WONT HELP ANYMORE IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT.

  • Supposedly "end of layout" is triggered when the project closes, as well as when you go to another layout.

    I have yet to see that work for the close, as its "goggles" on Safari.

    There are no other conditions that meet that criteria, except for possibly "on resize".

    The other option, unless "someone" adds something for mobile, is to save the state periodically.

  • A lot of conditions don't work in safari, end of layout, on resize, etc, but they may with Cocoon, or it may have some conditions that can check. Im not set up to export to it so I can't check.

    The ideal way would be to use local storage to save the games state, "on end of layout".

  • Alright, the more the merry!

  • Bump^2

    A few games are entered, and theres two days left.

    Need something to do over the holiday?

    Make a Christmas game.

  • Just put on your aluminum foil hat when you play them.

    You should be fine.

    Probably.
