  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I gathered from the blogs n such that once c3 is loaded then an Internet connection is no longer needed at all to be able to use it. If that's true, then once c3 is loaded you should be able to disconnect from the Internet and keep using it no problem. The only thing that wouldn't work is saving to or loading from Dropbox or the other online file hosting services.

  Actually, I'm curious to try something now. What if you closed the chrome browser with c3, disconnected from the Internet and re-opened the browser and tried to load the c3 website? I seem to recall Ashley talking about offline cache in his blogs... I'll have to try that tomorrow.

  Construct 2 addon files can actually be used for effects as well. They just aren't used often.

  According to the blog the c3addon file format is similar. It also states that they want to release the sdk documentation early on during the beta.

  It also says c2 plugins mostly would require rewriting the edittime portion of them to port them over. As far as effects go I'd imagine it may be as simple as putting it in a c3addon file. We just need to wait for the sdk to find out the details.

  They have a JavaScript runtime they are working on here:

  https://github.com/2d-inc/Nima-WebGLAnd here is the example they provide:

  http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://g ... rcher.html

  It's by no means a simple example to learn their api from. The only docs are the source code.

  Now, I don't actually have any interest in making a plugin for this. A good plugin would first require a good understanding of all you can do with the api and how to do it. Then from that something would need to be designed to make it easy to use from the event sheet. I simply don't have the patience to do all that, but here's an example that may be useful to someone who wants to actually make a plugin. Apart from the boilerplate stuff the example itself is simpler than the one on github.

  It loads the js files needed, loads a nima file and some animations, animates it and puts the rendered image on a sprite.

  There is no plugin in C2 thar has a builtin editor that does that. There are tools to do it and create a json string that you can load into the array object.

  * There are a few free capx on the forum that do it.

  * A few sold in the store.

  * You can make the spreadsheet in excel and export it as a comma seperated value (cvs) file. Then you can load that into an array either by doing it yourself with a loop and the tokenat() expression or using a plugin made to parse the file.

  Here's an example you can pick apart:

  You could do the app side of it in C2. Most of your work would be to make a server to host all the info and such. You'd have to do that with something else.

  There's the mouse lock plugin that lets you get that info and fixes the cursor to the middle of the screen. Maybe you could try that?

  The canvas plugin can only do the visual portion. Here's an old example:

  Here's a rambling of how to split a polygon itself.

  Then to actually change a collision polygon to do the physics there is this plugin:

  I don't have a comprehensive example.

  It's possible to slice up the image but we can't change the collision polygon.

  If it works then it's fine. The image size is dependent on what graphics cards support, and newer cards support bigger image sizes as well as provide more video ram so even too many images is less of an issue.
