  And also, it is outdated

  More like it's no longer upgraded, rather than "outdated". Updates for bugs, and fixes will remain for the foreseeable future.

  They run on the same platforms, and C3 has improvements based on lessons learned form C2, just as C2 has for Construct Classic.

  You should look at the subscription plan as a method to do away with having to release a new product ever so often.

  Again, lessons learned.

  In related news, our port of Iconoclasts (made in Construct 1) is releasing on Nintendo Switch on August 2!

  

  I hope we can announce some of the Construct 2 games we are working on soon as well.

  Macbee

  So I would assume yours would be doable.

  A pixel font might work. I'd hate to try to figure out antialiasing for anything else.

  Making a text type object using points or quads sounds interesting.

  Painfully complicated, but interesting nonetheless.

  You can have thousands of objects on screen, it just depends on what they are doing.

  If they are all doing something complex then that will slow things down.

  If you are sending multiplayer commands one at a time then that would also slow things down.

  All this depends mostly on the individuals hardware.

  No. The memory is in ram, not on the screen.

  Additional instances add(slightly) up in cpu though.

  Well there's a lot of context to a layer, and ease of use doesn't float to the top.

  You've got things like render order, parallax, fx, angle, collision cells, etc you have to take into account.

  If all you want is an easier way to handle some gui then I think you're working harder not smarter.

  Ok, so what does it add that can't be done using conventional events?

  Maybe try randomising by object rather than by tile?

  Nah the Paster object allows you to draw a quadrilateral, so basically you would use the raycaster method to daisy chain quads together to resemble a road.

  Setting up for an endless road would be somewhat complicated, but it would have zip waste.

  There's a lot of overdraw with this method.

  Might be better off shearing quads in Paster.
