  Usually, crossword stuff is made with arrays.

  Some thoughts:

  load the puzzle from a JSON file into an array

  run a loop trough every letter and change e.g. the color of the letter

  here is a tutorial that shows you how to load an Array from a text file (AJAX)

  With C2 you can basically build EVERY board game.

  You can even build it so it looks like 3D (but isn't).

  There are nice plugins available especially for board games

  http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/

  Or you could look into the isometric look (3D feeling)

  This makes it harder to make your game, but I think the look is worth it.

  1. bummer - would be nice if it had a long silent part in the beginning

  2. 14 sounds aren't that many - so here you should be fine

  3. Is also the right place, but you could try to move it into the music folder (works a little bit different)

  want to share your capx?

  It all depends on the game

  I really enjoy the free lite versions as long as I don't get only a demo version. I love developers that only disable a few options that you don't miss when you start playing.

  Free: if it only took you 2 afternoons of your time make it free (without ads)

  If your game will be played like every day for the next weeks (Farmville, Bejeweled) free+ads will probably make you more money.

  here i would try a helper Sprite (invisible) that has the physics behaviour attached

  Now you can set position of your visible Sprite to .... (see example above only the other way arround)

  Does your sound start with some extended silence (just check in a media player)?

  Is the sound file very large or do you have a lot of them?

  Is it in the Sounds or Music folder?

  or

  when you trigger the animation you can trigger also the play sound action at the same time (play once).

  Games with free version:

  If you want to sell it or place ads = buy license

  It's not porting - it is more like wrapping. So most of the games could be published on mobile, but it all depends on stuff like how big and complex your game is.

  R0J0hound - saw the other topic THX

  But your post inspired me to test my capx again (now with a loop).

  So here are the results:

  0 = perfect with the flaw that I maybe get into some other troubles

  15 = near perfect - here time is pretty close to WallClock

  if your project is really that big and you dont want backups in a single file you will need a backup software (plenty of good open source solutions are out there).

  Here you just give the backup software as source your project folder - and your destination incremental.

  Alternative:

  make a batch script where every 15min you copy your game.caproj and save it somewhere else with a timestamp in the name.
