  Ashley ludei We recently started using Construct 2 and CocoonJS to bring an app to iOS and Android but the layout-by-layout feature does not appear to be working and this has caused us a few headaches. I've been in touch with Ludei support and they feel that something still needs to be done on the Construct 2 side of things to move things forward.

  Here is the response I received from from Ludei.

  "BTW the layout-by-layout feature is something on the side of Construct 2 because is everything javascript based, so I recommend you to speak with Ashley to know when he will add support for this on CocoonJS."

  Would it be possible to get some clarification on this please.

  Thanks.

  czar thanks I thought that might be the case.

  I guess the alternative is to have 2 similar layouts using a different set of gfx and detect a retina ipad.

  I've not looked into this as a viable option so it may not be possible.

  That kind of solution would depend on how the layout by layout load works for iOS.

  I read a post from ludei that said they had not yet implemented this, but I wondered if anyone new if layout by layout loading was available at all for mobile devices through ANY service.

  If its not available does this mean the app will load all layouts into RAM at once?

  Hi All,

  I was wondering if you could advise me on a couple of things.

  I'm new to developing on Construct 2 but have a fair amount of iOS development experience.

  Firstly when developing for iOS we generally have a set of graphics for retina devices and a set for standard sized screen.

  I'm aware of the stretching capabilities in construct 2 but what makes the standard graphics look a bit blocky on iPad3 and using iPad3 graphics on a standard iPad is a huge waste of memory.

  So what options do we have to use a separate set of more detailed graphics ?

  While searching the forums I've also come across the "layout by layout loading". This is how I expected construct to work but it would appear that when developing for iOS it may not be working by using layout by layout loading. Is this correct?

  And if so does this mean that the app created will load all layouts into RAM at once at the beginning?

  Thanks in advance.
