  Aggh! The array instances! I can't handle the madness!

  Solid job, yet again ;)

  Node Webkit should replace Awesomium soon anyway ;)

  even if minify is not activated, the code is still awful to read and uncommented.

  There's probably not much Scirra could do about that however as (I think) from the start it was never the intention for the exported code to be readable or editable.

  mrtumbles, I'm curious about how my game 'plays with the fourth wall' - I've never heard that before, actually.

  Yes, Kongregate does support HTML5 games.

  However don't expect to make much money. I have about 5000 views and $5.

  PixelPalette, I'd have to disagree with you. 3Step Studio looks like it limts your options immensely to very prestructured games. This isn't where C2 is going at all.

  Loops have existed for a long time, along with much more advanced features. You can 'edit the raw code' with third party plugins if you want.

  Astrosus, Thanks, that's interesting. I had no idea how much memory each cell uses in C2 as there are no variable types. Does anyone know how this works? Is C2 'intelligent' in this aspect depending on the data the array is asked to store?

  R0J0hound, thanks!

  I'm trying with a width of 100,000 and there doesn't seem to be any performance problems. Is this array too large?

  That's amazing! But what is your generation algorithm? Is it a different version than mine, or just condensed?

  EDIT: I see that it's bilinear, but how did you do it with zero arrays? And as I can't use the seeded random, how would I adapt the regular random?

  So long as it's not using multiplayer, vectors, or performance killing aspects, you are all good!

  Hmm... I might just end up going with a compromise: Pre-generate all the arrays to a specific big world size, and only create the blocks within player distance. Sort of like Terraria.

  Savvy001, I see what you did and it's a clever solution, but not really applicable to my formula/game.

  Well done though! I didn't pick it up at all when playing the demo.
