  Local storage can be manipulated by players, so a clever player could give themselves infinite money.

  Yea, research Sprite UIDs. It is how Construct tracks every single Sprite instance. You can access those, store them in an array somewhere and correlate them to playerIds.

  Lots of math, logical frameworks, and bounded pseudo-random number generators.

  Why did you delete all of your posts? Lol. You removed any teaching value for people new to this topic, lol.

  That is curious. A good solution too. You discretized the inventory UI and then just had it redraw the inventory using the underlying mathematics.

  You lose the "smoothness" of a full scrolling UI, but that definitely works too.

  I'll keep that in mind for future applications. Thanks.

  You might be able to use the browser logs in a debugger like Chrome Dev Tools or Firebug (for Firefox). This will at least show you what the browser thinks it is sending to your server. It will not show you what the server thinks that it is receiving though.

  I don't know PHP, so I can't help you with the code itself, sorry.

  The general idea though is to write those variables to a file on your server (which may be your computer if you are running the PHP on your computer), but PHP -- unlike JavaScript -- can write files to computers. Then you can open up that file and see if the username and password are correct.

  ... if I don't understand how it works. ...

  This is key. Use other resources too like StackOverflow etc to understand. It's all in how you ask the question.

  For now, you can use our time API call:

  This returns the current UNIX timestamp for UTC. It is also automatically synced with the nist.time.gov time servers daily.

  Then you just have to parse it back to a date format.

  No, that is part of the user interface. They have to select the path. Although, you might be able to specify a default path, I am not sure.

  There are a lot of different ways that authentication can go wrong, and the best way to debug this is by starting with your API.

  Your initial layout can be designated as a "Loader layout" and it will be fully active while your other Layouts are loading.

  Not sure if this helps, but we generate all of our galaxies dynamically.

  If you have all of your position data pre-generated, it is easy to do.
