  HTML5 is still young, but it is of course possible to make money with games like them even now!

  Chrome is best at the moment, but firefox is catching up. If you try out Aurora, the beta of the next firefox, you can see nice improvements, almost on par with chrome.

  for more control, you need to 'assign' a sightline to each enemy.

  This feature will be implemented soon, but in the meantime, you should give an instance variable 'enemytype' to each sightline, and a variable 'linetype' or something to each enemy. Then you can properly pick events for each enemy/line, without applying them to EVERY enemy, as you have done.

  Use anchor to the top.

  Alternatively, for more control, set position to:

  scrolly + windowheight - sprite.height/2 - buffer

  buffer is the distance from the top of the screen.

  Angry birds is too simple for C2. It will take you an hour.

  The main reason angry birds is so successful is for its subtle details and nice graphics ;)

  You create your fog with particles... Why? You would have much more control creating it with an event-based system.

  ATM I can't see any way to fix your issue, I would advise you to create the fog 'manually'.

  Can't open the capx! You use a lot of custom plugins, sorry.

  Someone else might have them all.

  I know... it is disheartening. HTML5 is just such a young technology. Improvements are being made, albeit slowly.

  Well, it all depends on how you do your fog.

  A capx could help us help you help us all.

  1. As for the moment, definitely extremely difficult or impossible. I wouldn't go there.

  2. Nothing so hard about that... use a text box!

  Variables/wait actions should work fine. It is probably a simple problem, we can help you if you share your capx!

  I think this is not really widely useful... and considering you can emulate it with one event and one action... Ashley and Tom should probably focus on more important things for the moment.

  I'd be very careful breaking songs down into sections. The audio support in browsers is so sketchy that this could bring more trouble than help!

  I usually just create 1 minute loops of my music. I have 5 songs in AirScape and it still fit on the arcade ;)
