  I wasn't aware of the performance drop. Why exactly is that? is it because of more objects on the screen or something else?

  I'm not sure this is even possible. I heard you could do something with the canvas plugin, but I doubt it's feasible.

  Thanks, Ashley! I suppose that makes sense. I'm just worried my game will look blocky if I design for 720 and it is played on a 1080 screen.

  Keep in mind I'm not aiming for a retro feel. Fullscreen is also a must.

  OK, then, another question. 1080p vs. 720p. Is there any reason I would need to use 1080 over 720? Are most professional-grade games at 1080?

  — can you get away with a resolution that small?

  I have not really found a definitive answer for this question, but I think it's important, and will be informative to quite a few people.

  What's the minimum resolution and best single aspect ratio for a professional-quality (why not ;) ) game designed to be played fullscreen in letterbox mode?

  Hmm, that is a problem. I'm not quite sure if there's any other reliable way to do it.

  Here you go!

  I think this is what you wanted. Note that the ball loses all collision while being dragged. If this is unacceptable, the solution will be more complicated (you'd use a custom movement behavior) but for most applications I don't see it being too much of a problem. The ball also loses all angular velocity on drag, but again keeping this seems to me fairly useless.

  Hope this helped!

  You can download it from somewhere, you definitely get free stuff. I forget where you get it from, however...

  Perhaps activate a sine behavior with a very high frequency?

  These are good suggestions. Ashley can add them to the towering todo list ;)

  Shinkan is correct, you just need a variable which you subtract from (or add) dt each tick. What do you mean by 'is not what I'm looking'?
