  Why do you need to subtract from level in such small increments like that?

  I reckon you should keep the level value clean by using only integers, and if you need to subtract by decimals or whatever then use a seperate variable.

  Awesomium is dead and slower than Chrome, so we're waiting for node-webkit implementation or something better.

  Yeah that works, except I should clarify that I'm using the platform movement (not physics).

  I'm not sure if that tutorial is related? This problem is to do with making a slope that you can slide down, not make you walk around it like in sqiddster's gravity example/tutorial.

  Use the rotate towards position action on the sprite?

  Anyone have an idea for the best way to make a platformer slope that pulls you down the hill?

  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/nkQK4.png" border="0" />

  I've tried adding to the X velocity when on slope, I don't think it worked well.

  I've tried just doing a +x +y to position when on slope, but it thinks you're always in the air so that doesn't work.

  System expressions -> For each (ordered). For the expression do the Y position of sprite.

  May want to put all the objects you want ordered in a family.

  Action: move to top of layer.

  edit: 3 posts at once, lol.

  One of major obstacles in the path of major projects (MMO, lengthy VN etc.) is the amount of assets. How long would people wait for the 200 MB game to load? What about 400 MB? 1 GB?

  That's why you make it an application/executable...

  I think sometimes laptops switch to Intel graphics when not plugged in?

  Also, Awesomium runs worse than chrome -- it is known.

  How's the performance in this compared to Chrome? As Awesomium was more was more intensive than chrome, just hoping it's better than that.
