  Imagine interpolating splines in real time.

  Kinda blows the wheels off multi object animations, and even sprite deformations.

  There's literally a bazillion different ways to do things in C2.

  Not to mention regex....

  It depends on the target platform.

  As long as the frames are of a small to moderate size, less than 256 ideally, and of a reasonable size animation, eg not 60 fps lasting 30 seconds etc.

  It should be fine.

  Hd doesn't really exist in games.

  You don't need a license to make a plug, so its not really locked, just an extra hurdle.

  One possibility is to provide a way to update a plug in an exported game, without having to use C2 perhaps.

  The plugin sdk should allow for any needed api changes.

  I guess using proprietary software will always have issues like this, however that doesn't sound like licensing, more like selling the game outright.

  Be sure and read all the fine print.

  Its supply vs. demand.

  The supply of games from those engines fills their needs.

  The answer is to increase the demand.

  Make a game, in C2, they can't live without.

  The problem is svg is software rendered. There is no hwa equivalent.

  Its basically the same issue we have with the Canvas plug.

  So the hierarchy is: blame the software, the compiler, then the language, and failing that blame the hardware.

  Wont be long till we blame Moore for not getting anything done.

  You're supposed to use the smallest font for the payment details.

  You have to provide more information than just saying it stopped working.

  Way too much cpu for my moderate setup.

  Might want to add some fps compensation to the sound plug.

  Then if you absolutely have to use a single large image, you might consider downloading it at runtime.
