  Are you sure 'sampling' isn't set to 'point'?

  Oh, still interesting!

  In terms of requests... Hmm... I don't have anything at the moment, but I'm sure others will!

  Wait, so you are offering to write webgl effects compatible with C2? Or are these just animations?

  Either would be pretty cool ;)

  Use large tiles, and tiled backgrounds, wherever possible.

  Could it be a problem with your graphics card drivers?

  1. get rid of the scroll-to behavior, and make an event:

  every tick:

  --> scroll to X: player.X

  --> scroll to Y: player.Y + somenumber

  2. You will have problems with an infinite layout. For something like this, you should have the background moving down, and the player standing still.

  As for how this is done, have a look at the FAQ, specifically the scrolling/camera section.

  As am I. I have a strange compulsion to add an easter egg which immediately rickrolls you.

  instead of using 'move forward 10', use 'set y to self.Y - 10'

  You'll want to set a timer variable.

  Something like this:

  on left click:

  if timer > 0.5:

  --> shoot bullet

  --> set timer to 0

  every tick:

  --> add dt to timer

  You can change the '0.5' to change the possible rate of fire. You can also change 'on left click' to 'left button down' to allow them to hold the mouse button down to keep firing.

  I put the effect object on the main layer, set the layer properties to 'force own texture', and set the mask effect to 'source atop'.
