  No point, it's extremely dated. It's like using an alpha of Construct Classic.

  Could we get a "load tmx" action for tilemap? Since we can just use tilemap for making levels in construct now as a level editor and save/load tmx files it would be great load them at runtime so that its really simple and quick to do levels.

  If you want the smooth route (linear and no-rounding) then you need to change the coordinates or make the graphics 1 pixel wider/higher. Only way to reduce seams.

  If you want to solve without that and don't mind stuttering then just change to point and rounding.

  Ashley, I don't think the 1 pixel overlap is an issue if you design around this with large tiles anyway, it would enable a lot of non-pixel games to be made.

  But if it's technically impossible then yeah don't worry about it.

  What's the point? There's already operating systems that are developed by thousands of people, I don't think 1 person has a hope of catching up alone.

  Make the images 1 pixel larger and overlap them, unless you want to do pixel rounding and ruin the quality.

  There's still some issues, but he'll optimize things eventually (collisions, resolution etc.)

  Is it possible to create a seamless option for the Tilemap? This way we could use it in high quality games. Is it planned? Because it was in the 9 patch object, so just curious why it's not the option here.

  Ok the PS4 controller doesn't use Xinupt so probably won't work with Chrome, zzz.

  Has anyone tried the PS4/xbone controller yet?

  Chrome won't fix an unsupported USB gamepad due to: some stability issues with DirectInput on Windows causing browser crashes, so they've dropped DirectInput gamepad support.

  Wow, that ****** That's like the majority of inputs/gamepads down the toilet. So stupid...

  Could you just have multiple tiles of the same image at different opacity?

  You can't place tiled BG in a family that has sprites in it.

  Ya i'm just waiting for the collision & resolution optimizations so we get good performance, when g-sync becomes standard different or stuttering framerates won't matter anyway.

  The core philosophy of Construct 2 has always been to make games for the future (hence HTML5 and no native support etc.).
