  You have to use a server with file system or a database to maintain persistent state data. Especially if you are paying people for perfect scores. I would just hack your game, give myself a perfect score and submit it for my prize.

  In future we hope to have a feature that lets you set a layout as a loading screen, so you can have whatever you like while it loads. It's some way off though.

  That would be very nice!

  You can't do it without a web server. Also, we are already way ahead of you building exactly such a game. (See our website in my signature)

  maybe add a <div> with a c2canvasdiv id? and the JavaScript to load it?

  Something like:

  <div id="c2canvasdiv">
  <canvas id="c2canvas" width="1024" height="768"></canvas>
  </div>
  <script src="jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
  <script src="c2runtime.js"></script>
  <script>
  		// Size the canvas to fill the browser viewport.
  		jQuery(window).resize(function() {
  			cr_sizeCanvas(jQuery(window).width(), jQuery(window).height());
  		});
  		
  		// Start the Construct 2 project running on window load.
  		jQuery(document).ready(function ()
  		{			
  			// Create new runtime using the c2canvas
  			cr_createRuntime("c2canvas");
  		});
  		
  		// Pause and resume on page becoming visible/invisible
  		function onVisibilityChanged() {
  			if (document.hidden || document.mozHidden || document.webkitHidden || document.msHidden)
  				cr_setSuspended(true);
  			else
  				cr_setSuspended(false);
  		};
  		
  		document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", onVisibilityChanged, false);
  		document.addEventListener("mozvisibilitychange", onVisibilityChanged, false);
  		document.addEventListener("webkitvisibilitychange", onVisibilityChanged, false);
  		document.addEventListener("msvisibilitychange", onVisibilityChanged, false);
  		
      </script>

  Edit: just looked at an old project where I used ajax to call php files, and I was just specifying the whole url. So I would expect that "http://www.bbb.com/a.php" would work. (The file I was calling was up twp levels, then down another directory.)

  Yea, like AllanR says, just call the base URL exactly where your application is: "http://www.bbb.com/a.php"

  Ah yea, that does happen on occasion, but rex is very good about keeping his plugins working. I think Scirra develops around some of the more popular plugins to help prevent them from breaking too.

  Glad you got it fixed. It looks like only iOS8 supports webGL (on the Apple side).

  The plugins are not too bad. You unzip them into the exporter folder for html and they appear as Objects in Construct to add.

• Try Construct 3

  I am not as familiar with the XML plugin, but Java libraries for XML let me search for specific tags within the XML.

  Mobile is web. All of the mobile websites are hosted on web servers just like everything else.

  This one worked for us:

  https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/415/dr ... -and-touch

  We combined it with a full mouse zoom capacity, which caused some weird issues with the pan that we have yet to fix, but it works nicely otherwise.
