  The best you can do is use a reasonable number of polygon points to approximate a curved surface. It still works well though, I've had no problems doing that.

  When the global time scale is 0, you can reset individual objects to regular time scale with 'Set Object Time Scale'. What this does is makes 'object.dt' behave as normal, and not evaluate to 0. You may need to replace your 'wait' event with a timer behavior or variable.

  If you don't know what 'dt' means, this tutorial is very helpful.

  I think a question that hasn't been fully answered is the difference between preview and export - There are quite a few rendering differences between preview and export I'm not sure how to fix. These include seams, weird 1-pixel wide extensions from the edges of tiles, stretched gradients rendering differently, etc. Clearly something's causing this...

  I've noticed this too. It's a chrome issue I think. It's pretty annoying.

  By definition HTML5 will always run in a browser.

  Honestly, if someone is going to the effort of downloading your game, in this day and age they really won't care if it's 5mb or 55mb.

  I get the feeling that this would be tremendously difficult for scirra to implement.

  I once talked to someone about being able to use FunctionName(param0,param1) instead of Function.call("FunctionName",param0,param1) but apparently the engine architecture prevents this. I can only assume that your request may have similar problems.

  An image that's 6800 pixels wide will eat up a HUGE amount of VRAM. Also, it's a bit awkward to teleport the player back to the start seamlessly.

  Those two factors make an infinite scrolling game probably better with the first approach.

  Not possible, and there's really not much reason to do that anymore anyway.

  It works for me. There may be a problem on your end.
