  i'd say that constructcorner.com is a better place to expose your work.

  ... model their interiors and probably the furniture in there as well.

  your intended level of detail is mind-boggling... but why would you want to model the interiors by hand when you could create them procedurally, like your city?

  yes, that would be nice to have.

  (my dirty workaround: use a MouseKeyboard object to move the cursor to 99999,99999 then retrieve his position (the screen limits) with MouseKeyboard.AbsMouseX / Y. you could speculate on supported resolutions & aspect ratio from that ...)

  you can transfer tilemaps to Sprite animation frames using the animators' image importer as described here. that could be described as a a limited implementation (targeted at character animation)... the Tile object (that repeats/wraps its content when stretched, and does not scale it like the Sprite) does not support animation. depending on what exactly you want to do, this might mean 'yes' or 'no' to your question :)

  since you're interested in the relationship of gameplay & narration, there is a rather interesting thesis about that. sadly, it is written in german and i could not find a translation. on the off-chance that you can read that language, i'll still post it: it's Britta Neitzel, "Gespielte Geschichten" http://deposit.ddb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?idn=970619278

  Len(string) is the System Expression that returns the number of characters in string. it has been added to the System Expressions wiki page.

  i don't think we can expect any standardized mass-produced multitouch hardware to become available at a reasonable price to a significantly large number of people in the near future.
