  — : you can check the plugin I just made : http://www.scirra.com/FORUM/topic58786_post362069.html#362069.

  With that one, you can exchange messages between iframes. If you have a complete exported C2 game in each of those iframes, you can do some kind of "splitscreen" on the same machine...

  I have added a plugin to the dev section here : http://www.scirra.com/FORUM/topic58786_post362069.html#362069

  <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1412774/iframePostMessageDemo/demo.png" border="0">

  As you can see in the demo : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1412774/iFramePostMessageDemo/index.html, you can exchange data between two iframes, each one containing a game made with C2. With that, you can do some 2 players "split screen" game !

  THis plugin allows you to exchange messages between two iframes created within C2.

  <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1412774/iframePostMessageDemo/demo.png" border="0">

  I'm using the postMessage HTML5 API, allowing me two exchange messages between allowed iframes.

  To illustrate the use of that plugin, imagine you create a game in C2 that must support two players, on the same screen.

  To do that, you can create 3 C2 projects : one with just two iframes on a layout, each one linking to the URL of anoter exported C2 project.

  With tat, each player can send a message to the other playe (playing on the same machine/tablet/phone <= although it's going to be a bit tiny on a phone <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">).

  Since those message are text, you can decide to send the position of the player pieces (as text, and you parse it on the other side), or the base64 string of an image, or anything else.

  You can imagine a battleship game where you send the position of the hit as "(x,y)" (text string) to the other side, for example !

  To enforce security, you MUST specify the URL of the domain you want to accept message from, in the properties of the Plugin (or else somebody can hijack your app).

  maxp010 : you aren't forced to use Phonegap/appMobi, but you'll suffer from the phone limitations (on iOS : one simultaneous sound only, touch to start...)

  maxp010 : if you use a format compatible with the phone model. For example, on iOS you have mp3 & AAC only.

  newt : You mean a REAL bridge ? On which people can walk ? No way it can exists ! People walk too slowly, the whole bridge will refresh before people are going to go to the other side, and they'll fall !

  True Valhalla : I spent some time reading all your blog and the info you provide are intersting. I think that the problem here is that eveybody isn't over 18 or 20 (depending on the country), or not even from a western country, so $20 can seem a bit costly. But since trusted publisher are hard to find, for somebody working in that field, the intel cost that price. And if you set a too low price, people are going to associate it with content not valuable enough.

  One of my current gripe with HTML5 is the lack of easy possibility to execute native binary code, when you now you are on a trusted environment. That would help to create application mixing HTML5 for GUI and native code for heavy tasks on desktop. There are some possibilities, but nothing straightforward...

  newt : I'm porting the original editor to a C2 project. With that, I think people can begin to use the plugin to create their own textures.

  Arima : iPad has a 2048x1536 resolution in landscape mode.

  The status bar at the top is 40 pixels high, and the URL bar is 152 pixels high. When you remove those, you have 2048x1344, the exact resolution you have a problem with. That must be something related to it.

  Can you try to start in landscape mode, and go the portrait mode set at (1536)x(2048-152-40) (i.e. 1536x1856), and then 1536x1855, to check if you have that bug ?

  — : here's a new build (v1.42) of the iframe plugin, with a change to the way it deals with "current URL".

  You can now retrieve the current URL at edit time and runtime.

  Arima : I think you have the "iPhone viewport scalling bug".

  You can see the question asked here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8380051/what-is-the-iphone-viewport-scale-bug

  And the original link, with some explanation to fix things : http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/iphone-safari-viewport-scaling-bug

  Since, when you rotate, the viewport is cropped, the GPU must have some problem with the composition of the view, explaining the performance problems.

  I have posted in the dev zone a plugin to add a "Drag'n'drop" zone to your game : http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic58578_post360841.html#360841

  With that, you can add a zone inside your game where your user can drag an image from outside the browser, or a saved text, and use it inside your game (think avatar customisation, or textual map).

  HEre's a plugin that leverage the possibility for browser to handle the drag'n'drop of a file from outside the browser, inside the page.

  <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1412774/DragNDropZoneDemo/demo.png" border="0">

  With that plugin, you can drag Images in your game, and get back a base64 string, that you can load in any Sprite. Therefore, your user can customize an avatar with dragging one of his image inside the game, for example !

  All the image format currently supported by the browser are supported by the plugin. (Don't forget to catch the "On Image Loaded" event, the image can be laoded by the browser some time after the end of the "On drop" event).

  You can also load some text file, and handle the result as a classic text string. File format are plain txt,html/htm,xml, and SVG (viewed as an XML, not an image, here !)

  If you set the zone as "invisible", you can't drag any new file until you set the zone "visible" back again.

  In the example .capx, I also show how to handle wrong a filetype dragged over a drag'n'drop zone (for example an image on a text drag'n'drop zone).

  At the edit time, you need to set if you want your zone to access image files, or text files. In the future, I'll add support for more varied file type.

  You can also specify a CSS string for the styling.
