  Drawing a polygon might be a bit less intensive. Of course you would need to figure out how many segments to use to keep it from looking blocky.

  The main reasons to go with 3d over 2d in an isometric setting is the number of frames for characters, and objects that need to show multiple views, and a non-tiled setting where rounding can be an issue.(Ogre Battle vs Diablo as example differences). These things can be done in 2d with great effort, but 3d makes it trivial.

  With the given information the 2d isometric setting could be implemented in C3 fairly easy.

  Of course the key is knowing how to do it.

  The only foreseeable issue might be garbage collection.

  As I mentioned a couple of times, the issue reproduces with clean versions of both Chrome and Edge.

  A fresh install doesn't mean it won't install plugs if you sync your account.

  Then Edge basically is Chrome. Same open source engine.

  Edit:

  Also this shot- user-images.githubusercontent.com/34659544/89725979-11101f80-d9ec-11ea-9494-95325b313c14.PNG

  Shows an outline rather than a shadow. Possible driver issue.

  Is that first one "collision cells"? If so then it may not be checked in all circumstances.

  Drawing canvas would be great, especially for gui except the whole redraw on resolution change thing.

  It's a deal breaker. There any many circumstances where you simply can't redo everything on the canvas.

  And transfering to other objects is problematic.

  Saves don't include sound.

  In theory you could save the time to a variable and skip to that point if it's that important.

  Pinning stuff is just going to bite you in the end.

  Just go with separate frames, and animations. It's not like it takes up a lot of room.

  I wish we had more methods beside polygons. Objects in other objects are particularly hard to deal with, although tilemaps work in some situations.

  Process of elimination.

  Might want to consider who your target audience is, unless it's just you.

  Apparently the idea of testing other phones has gone out the window.

  Look for the biggest number, start from there.
