What is one thing you realised WAY too long into using C2?

I've used C2 for about 1-3 years (over 6 months personal edition) and just now I JUST realized you can select by layer names too, not just numbers.

So I ask you, what is something obvious (or just really useful) that you realized WAY too far into using this fantastic program?

That I can use the Self expression.

That you can use the F4 key to start the preview from the 1st layout.

Didn't know this. Haha, thanks.

The sine behavior can program movement for enemies or platforms in a matter of clicks.

This should be a sticky, maybe under "beginner's questions?"

4 years and I never knew this. Thank you!

This is more game design in general than just C2, but tween EVERYTHING. lerp() should be your best friend.

Heh:

On the good: Event groups are a good way to optimize code (enabling/disabling them)

On the bad: WiiU doesn't support WebGL

that "minify script" is a bad idea

How so?

Marketing is everything. EVERYTHING.

That's why endless, runners, swipers, slingshots, jumpers, humpers are still the hot sh*t.

Just when you thought the Match 3 market has been CLOSED by Candy Crunch, new ones with different themes still seem to be sought after.

Always be sure to comment everything so you don't spend several hours pondering what the hell does this series of events do in your event sheets when trying to improve your game or simply to fix the bugs, specially when making large games.

The comments are all automatically removed by the editor upon export .

Seriously? Thanks.

I realised that one of the benefits of making groups, is that the debug feature shows how heavy my computer is thinking per group.

And I have read somewhere as a tip to make a layout where you can place all your sprites, to be used later in the game. I call it: the basement, or attic^^

Some of the older plugins/behaviors or ones made by beginners are not done correctly in order to be minified.

I'm not an expert but I think it just involves adding "[ ]" to some parts of the code. Basically the minifier cannot read through that kind of JS code and screws up.
