  Not all phones have geo location, check the specs to see.

  Zero is the default value if its not working/ doesn't exist.

  scirra.com/tutorials/73/supporting-multiple-screen-sizes

  To get rid of black bars on screens with different aspect ratio, use scale outer mode and make your background about 15% bigger than layout size.

  You can change the background in the html. Its just black by default. You can even use a texture if you like.

  You don't

  Pick a scale, 16x9 is good, pick a resolution from that scale, and use fullscreen.

  Yeah its pretty handy.

  It will get you through the tough parts, except for maybe how to do z, but its actually pretty simple: Z= Y+offset.

  Or -offset for our particular setup.

  The tips are:

  Don't use that many instances, especially if they don't do anything. Use things like tilemaps, and tiledbackgrounds.

  Learn how to do filtering for what objects you have that do something, such as turning on collision cells for los, or using "is on screen"

  Turn on render cells for those layers that have the most objects.

  Too bad Construct Classic is stuck in xp mode.

  As I recall it had a plug for binary, as well as one for passing command line parameters to a program like Ghostscript.

  I would expect that Illustrator would use the basic svg format which is essentially xml.
