  Just wanted to give heads up about a blog post i made on our homepage.

  For some time i have wanted to see how i would go about making a "paper toss" game or similar, where i would use physics items that would be thrown by the use of touch speed and direction and time. So i gave it a quick try and it came out pretty well...at least IMO.

  I created 2 very simple games/demos that you can try out and download the source .capx for.

  Try the games/demos here:

  My advice would be to test the 2 ways and check the debug view for any performance changes.

  But it sounds like it would be more cpu consuming to create a new object all the time than having the same particle object pinned.

  There are several ways to achieve it, but the simplest way would be to use the PIN behavior. See: https://www.scirra.com/manual/99/pin

  I am not 100% sure what you are asking about. But my guess is that you are asking if you can make a game that uses the acceleration of the device. Yes, C2 can do all that, read more under Touch: https://www.scirra.com/manual/119/touch

  There are several things you can do, IAP by Facebook or Google. Dunno if anyone has created a plugin for it, but a few games on FB uses https://www.trialpay.com/

  As far as i know there is no way of changing that during gameplay, as its the index.html that sets the different scaling property.

  Not 100% sure it will work, but it should in theory.

  1. Export the game several times, for all the different modes you need.

  2. Save the index file with different names in the same game folder.

  3. Create a landing page where you check if the game is on mobile and/or whatever checks you need, then use the Browser plugin and to goto URL and point to the index you need loaded.

  When you start the sound, did you give it a "TAG"?

  If you did, then pause the sound with the same TAG using Set Paused.

  Are you using the "officical" plugin or AdMobFE by Frosty Elk? (https://www.frostyelk.se/products-page/ ... /admob-fe/)

  Do you have an account with AdMob?

  Have created an ad inside AdMob and entered the right ads ID?

  Did you enter the Cordova plugin properly in XDK?

  This is how i would do it....

  I would do the "Spray" by creating sprites where the mouse points each tick.

  To know if the whole area where covered i would have a grid of sprites cover the area, and when a "spray" sprite would touch one of the grid sprites it would remove the grid sprite. When no grid sprites are left, you are done.

  Yes you can import the "skins" as images in the Files folder and load them from there.

  But as i said before, i am not sure about the load animations frame by frame stuff....i only guess that it works that way as it should do so in theory.

  By using effects with blend-modes you could alter the colors on the sprite. So by doing that you would easily get 5 different "skins" of the same skin.

  I havent tried it myself, but in theory you should be able to load an animation by URL, load image, change sprite to frame 2, load image, change to frame 3 etc etc...

  Load image from URL should write over the current frame with the image you specify.
