  I don't know that Construct supports this naturally. You would have to build a custom plugin using something like this: https://github.com/mlocati/js-webcam-screenshot

  How many Constructs are you willing to sacrifice? And what is the defense/attack capability of Constructs vs Unities?

  You can do anything that JavaScript can do, which is a LOT. We are using randomized input from databases, config files, and other sources for our game. So, yes, all of that is doable.

  We use Amazon Web Services for all of our servers. They do a wide range of sizes and scales for a wide price range. Good service.

  We are building such a game right now. See my signature.

  Well, not quite EXACTLY like you envision. What you are envisioning is called "Distant Worlds" by Code Force Games. Our game is similar but more strategic level, rather than tactical.

  Yea those both work for authentication. Two factor authentication is one of the most secure ways to do authentication.

  You can use a static variable like "makeBubbles=1"

  then change that variable to "makeBubbles=0" when you want it to stop.

  Then for your Create White Bubble action, you can use a Compare Variable to 1.

  If you need it to be non-repeating, then remove that entry after you select it.

  ... So after 200,000 generated IPs in the array, it takes 0.0083s on my 120hz Monitor to generate a new IP, that is unique. But ... the normal delta-time for a 120hz monitor is all so 0.0083s per tick.

  On my Intel i5 4570 with 3.20ghz, NWjs has a CPU usage of ~0.9% after generating over 200,000 IPs ... so no real performance impact.

  Btw. an 1dArray with exactly 200,000 IPs would have a physical size of 4.2mb ...

  RIght, by "large number", I am thinking of millions or billions. Not 200,000. :-p The likelihood of you getting collisions with 200,000 is extremely small.

  Have an array and fill it with your numbers, then each loop just pull out a number from your array like: Array.At(random(Array.Width-1))

  You need to define a relative coordinate system for your 2nd "screen" with respect to the actual screen coordinates.

  

  Basically, you have to add 960 to any x coordinate on your 2nd screen.
