  Geolocation probably requires https.

  Accelerometer may not.

  For a theme: Indiana Jones/archaeologist egypt tomb

  Keep in mind several holidays are coming up, and this would fit.

  Not really a pattern. Higher multiples of the same object rather than seeming to switch back and forth.

  Kind of a Timberman clone, not to be judgy.

  I would play more off the bomb aspect, maybe add a timer with a ticking sound effect.

  Needs way less randomisation. You have to get the player used to a pattern, then switch it up.

  Well that doesn't mean they can't be sprites.

  While it isn't ideal, Construct is well suited to working with a bunch of sprites in this way.

  I would also gamble that for the "not so advanced" user, this may be the best way given that Construct will stear new users to use objects rather than math.

  Ok. Does it work on Construct?:

  Is it 2d?:

  Yes

  Is it 3d?:

  Probably not

  Does it rely on tens of thousands of objects doing something simultaneously, and require precise timing less than 10 milliseconds?:

  Ehh, depends on hardware.

  Is it one button publishing?:

  No. In fact it's just as hard to publish to other platforms as it is in other editors in most cases.

  It's the same.

  The only thing that would be better would be transparent, since then it's not even drawn.

  Doesn't matter. It's only when an object is doing something, moving, rotating, flashing, etc that matters, and even then it's usually a minimal cost, per instance.

  You might check the collision polygon.

  Depends on how you look at it.

  Technically it's still just 2d.

  Im not sure about C3, but you R0j0's plug allows sampling r g and b independently, as well as the alpha, of course it would be the same for all three.

  Its limited to 255 for the channels, and 0 to 1 for alpha, but then again its "millions of colors" as a composite.

  Getting pixel data from henky gpu's is another argument all together.

  Heh, don't forget Canvas, you get r,g,b, and a at xy.

  With a few caveats...

  You can see it, but reading it, even un-minified is gobbledygook.
