  Firebase cloud message has iOS, android, and (chrome) browser notification. I could try to add (chrome) browser notification.

  Would it work with Nwjs?

  Gcm has migrated to https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/

  You might check with rexrainbow and see if he has any plans on creating something.

  Looks like one dimensional noise scaled up.

  It's been a while, but as I recall "is overlapping" negated was one instance where it gave weird results.

  It could vary from not picking to running down the fps.

  At first I thought it was the inverted logic:

  

  Inverted, or negated doesn't always work as expected so I strongly suggest staying away from it.

  But then I replicated the effect by hitting the windows button, so I don't think its audio related.

  If one of the platforms breaks Scirra still has a viable product, so the native argument fails against that alone.

  And most of those other platforms can probably do screen capture.

  Ashley can't fix the issues with Nwjs.

  You can't tell Youtubers what software to use, but you can give them something else to record.

  The argument of C2 not being professional might carry more weight if I hadn't just saw a youtuber describe Unity as "up and coming".

  I think the real solution here would be to get rid of the tubers.

  Perhaps a better comparison would be the dependence on third parties such as Nwjs, is pretty much the same as the dependance of a game developer on third parties such as Youtubers.

  The problem with containers and particles is that when the particle object is destroyed along with its parent object, so are all of its emissions.

  Making the Particle object one-shot has issues as well.

  Someone had the bright idea of making multiple processes to handle bottlenecks without taking how things are used into account.

  Then again, programs that watch other programs is pretty sketchy to begin with.

  Im sure Ashley will be doing an update to the Scirra version as soon as he can.

  Its related to the issue here:

  Looks like it's close to being resolved.

  You'll want to change nwjs to use a single process.
