  Well, it is preview software. I wouldn't be surprised if games start working in subsequent versions of the Edge browser as the kinks are ironed out.

  It should work in theory. Have you tried it?

  To go any bigger you'll have to roll your own arithmetic for large numbers. Here's an example for summing two arbitrarily large positive integers:

  So many digits, so little time

  It may be a bug. You can always try posting a bug report with your CAPX and repro steps on the bugs forum. If you go that route, strip down the file to be as simple as possible while still showing the issue -- no third party effects or plugins, that kind of thing.

  1. It really depends on what you mean by "big". In general, Construct 2 doesn't limit the scope of games you can create, within reason. It's all really a matter of how much effort you're willing to put in. If we're being honest, a lot of users have a poorly calibrated sense of how much effort is required to pull certain things off.

  2. It can be done, and again, Construct 2 won't be the limiting factor when it comes to scope. I'd suggest searching through the tutorials section for ideas on how to do this.

  3. You're a beginner, these are beginner questions, I'd say yes.

  Also, welcome to forums, it's good to have you!

  It's possible that your bullet is colliding with multiple wall objects at the same time, so the event is running for each collision. There's some strange behavior to be aware of when you destroy an object -- relating to when it actually ceases to exist -- but I don't remember what it is off the top of my head.

  You should find a path once for each location you want to move to, then use the "On path found" trigger to start movement. See the manual for how pathfinding works.

  In the new project dialog, search for "pathfinding" -- there's a demo in there that you can look at.

  The Browser object has an "Open URL in new window" action.

  Tiled backgrounds don't support custom collision polygons or image points. You'll need to use sprites to get those.

  Modified version of eli0s's example using a loop: Loop Spread. This will avoid any picking issues that may or may not be causing the problem in the first place. Also, it's a great way to reduce redundancy.

  You should make more of an effort to understand containers. They'll save you a lot of headaches here. I'd suggest reading the manual entry for them.

  Alternatively, using math. You could also have platforms move in an oval this way. You can also set timeAngle however you want, such as an incrementing/decrementing value.
