  "Minifying the script makes the script smaller and harder to decompile."

  Arguably the most difficult aspect of decompiling or reverse engineering is figuring out what each global variable does. The name of each global variable isn't changed in the c2runtime.js file, and I typically follow good programming practices so I give a name that makes sense to each variable.

  I don't think it would be that difficult at compilation of an exported construct 2 game, to substitute names of global variables, arrays, dictionaries, instance variables, and other such items with randomly generated 4 character base-36 names (1,679,616 theoretically possible different names).

  This way it would be difficult to determine what a variable does what just by reading the code or using a program to monitor the activity of a game.

  Naturally this randomization process wouldn't apply to debug.

  Minor request, can you update this plug-in to include the below:

  http://caligatio.github.io/jsSHA/ ? SHA512 seems unlikely to ever be broken, at least compared to SHA256.

  I also request some basic scrypt implementation, basically:

  V(1) = hash(message)

  V(2) = hash(hash(message))

  ...

  and then the final hash is hash( V(1)+V(2)+...V(n) )

  This is a good plugin.

  I suspect through some reading, that Javascript uses the browser's implementation of PRNG.

  It really depends on your aim.

  Simple browser games mean construct 2.

  I need someone to add the above RNG to Construct 2.

  It's already in JS.

  If I push a value into an array, is the last line deleted?

  I think the essence of good small project game development is to make something you would find fun (Goat Simulator for instance), and release at least an alpha or beta version to test the waters.

  Where do Arrays push to?

  I mean, is the last value deleted? Is the first value pushed via the x-axis or the y-axis?

  Should I re-compile my games every two months?

  Would the various improvements in optimization that probably occur every so often be worth it? Would it depend if I use physics or not?

  i really don't see how the text representation is at all similar to the visual representation, but thanks

  can I use text commands in construct 2 now?

  if not, can you make a screen shot?
