  I think ideally it would be an fx that doesn't require any events.

  Plus I think you would want to have some parameter for the fade.

  Pasting into DC is better, but just using a Particle is better.

  It has its own artifacts however.

  Not sure I follow. Thats sounds about the same as spawning instances that fade.

  The idea is to get away from so many objects, and reduce cpu bottlenecks.

  Looking for a better method to do sprite trails, other than putting a fade behavior on a sprite.

  Something like an fx you put on a layer and it draws a fading target texture underneath any object that's on its layer.

  Even if you can convert a font to a path(you can't, fonts have outlines for paths), you wont get a writing vector. There is no set drawing direction/ library, those are subjective, and no one is going to agree to the specifics.

  IE make your own.

  The best way to monetize HTML5 games is by making mobile web games and sell licenses for them.

  I wouldn't think the best way to monetise html5 games is licensing them, because there's a reason people want to license them.

  Is the new runtime still good for making mobile web games, even if it doesn't support Canvas2D?

  You tell me:

  Nepeo What about the possibility of adding a seed to probabilities?

  Like for example you wanted to make a map, and have a chance that a tile was a rock, or a tree, etc.

  Ashley the local server. Local host.

  Building a preview on the remote just takes too long. Then there's the current server issues.

  Don't get me wrong, remote is great if you want to show someone who could be anywhere else in the world.

  tarek2 thanks I'd vote if I could.

  Somebody needs to make a suggestion to give us more votes to use...

  Ashley Would it be possible to get a local preview like we have for C2?

  The remote preview really isn't viable for quick testing, and the local server updates instantaneously.

  You could just use a variable.
