  Changing the icon of a Windows executable is suprisingly hard. It uses the ICO format which is an ancient format dragged kicking and screaming from the 16-bit Windows 3.1 days all the way through to 64-bit Windows 10. It never had any decent support in the Windows APIs to write ICO files as far as I am aware, and the documentation on the subject is pretty poor (and absolutely littered with accumulated backwards-compatibility baggage from over the years). So to support this would basically mean spending several days reverse-engineering an old, obscure and poorly documented format. Alternatively there are existing tools that can do this, and we have a lot of much more pressing things to work on, so...

  Thanks for explaining it

  famousgnu6 - That really sucks. The regret of buying early.

  I understand it can be troubling. Think about it this way:

  • The engine is fairly priced even at full price.
  • You supported the developers of an awesome software with more money.

  Ture, this should be in the editor. However since the engine uses a wrapper for Windows export, I'm not sure that it can be done without Resource Editor. Ashley can say how much work it would take to implement such feature.

  Malwarebytes is also a good free scanner than can detect a lot of malware/trojanware that some AVs can miss.

  That's a good choice. I'd suggest you do a boot time virus scan (Avast can do such) and run Malwarebytes too.

  I tested it once and it worked using XDK (just check that it has a vibrate plugin added in the XDK project - if I remember right).

  I hope you understand? But I really appreciate it, and it's given me the idea to ask as many friends as possible to try to run it on their computers

  Sure, I understand. I wouldn't like the idea either to share my game before I feel it's ready. I hope your game runs well on your friends' computers.

  I'm not sure that the offical Admob plugin supports it, but I saw people on the forums who have this kind of feature in their games. So yes, you can show video ads in your games with C2.

  Do you have any errors in the JS console?

  I have a notebook with an i3 CPU (HD 4000 graphics). If you do an export from the newest version of C2 and post a link here (or send it in PM), I'll gladly test it for you. Just please include an FPS counter.

  It would be pretty blind if Scirra only investigates bugs which are posted on their bugs section.

  You might be right, but that's the case. Since this forum gets tons of posts every day and there are other fields on the website where people can express their thoughts (like comments) no one can expect the Scirra Team to look at each one. Ashley said it before that the bugs section in the forum provides and organized and collected place for them to get informed about bugs.

  Yes, Construct 2 can handle that easily. Just make sure you optimize your game from the beginning, like you would in any other engine. These sources can help you:

  So, if I get your problem right, you are trying to load an image from a Blackboard course into a C2 project and it gives you an error? Can you make a simple sample capx with the problem?

  Welcome to the community

  That is one big project you have there. I also think it's doable with Construct 2, but take scaffa 's advice and start some smaller projects to get the feel and hang of Construct 2. Since you'll need to optimize and organize your code well for such big game, prior experience in the engine will be very valuable.

  Yes, you can create saves that can be read by other games as well (or other episodes). You'll just have to make a custom save system and save the data into a file.

  Also, if you want to code something, you'll use Javascript and not Java since C2 is a HTML5 engine.
