  Here's a really simple example I did a few days ago.

  The speed part is fairly easy to add, speed = distance(touch.x,touch.y,joy.x,joy.y)* multiplier

  A few other questions:

  "- When you talked about the possibility of rewriting the event system in it, how far would that extend? Would that cover behaviors as well? Would people be able to make third-party extensions using it as long as they had the tools?"

  Is it a separate exporter that requires rewriting plugs?

  Would it require any third party wrappers?

  What platforms would be available?

  I should add that its speed sensitive. Slow flick goes a short distance, fast far.

  Check out the demo in the arcade:

  I'd suggest a parallax layer.

  Move the player to the parallax layer when it changes levels.

  You can alter the all the layers parallax at runtime.

  Option 1

  There's no real increase of cpu, unless they are moving.

  You wouldn't draw the collisions, you would piece them together using different the different collisions.

  Tile with left slope here, right slope there etc.

  You could also assign the tiles at runtime.

  This is a work around that is as close as possible to what you are asking.

  Anyway you are asking for an in editor feature where the in editor features of C2 are pretty much locked.

  Better luck with C3.

  Create a list at point creation by appending the angle to a variable string.

  set variable to variable&","&yourangle

  Then get the angle with Sprite.Spline.CurSegP1

  Set angle to tokenAt(variable,Sprite.Spline.CurSegP1,",")

  You can do that with tilemaps.

  I'm not sure what would be successful, but I'm pretty sure this will turn into a native export rant at some point.

  Supply and demand. Its gotten super easy to make games (despite idiotic complaints about third party issues), and the market is super saturated.

  So to sell anything you have to spam the world, which is basically what Supercell, does.

  That or hit on some viral game mechanic( Flappy Bird, Agar.io, Slither.io)

  Amazon has their own ad service they want you to use.

  Then they have "underground" where they pay you when people play the game. There are a few hoops to jump through, but it's an interesting concept.

  I noticed the other day, Steam queues had the option to flag keywords for games you don't want.

  RpgMaker was one of them.
