  You can do it visually using masking. However, collision polygons will be a different matter. I don't see of any good way to go about getting collision to work in this respect.

  I'd agree with Ashley's sentiments. It's not false advertising, just a lack of clarity.

  I agree with you, at least a little. I'd much rather the true situation be made a bit more clear, so we don't have so many mobile complaint posts and disappointed customers. However, I would not call it 'false advertising', perhaps I'd just say the way it is is just a bit optimistic.

  Unfortunately Ashley was right, and there's no 'great' way to make a AA mobile app at the moment. Soon, soon.

  Man, that ******

  I know there is an autobackup, but of course that really doesn't help you if you don't save. Not sure about an autosave yet.

  Regarding 'sprite atlases' - there's no need to think about this while programming, and C2 automatically does it for you on export.

  Regarding 'lazy camera' - easy peasy. I use it in my game AirScape. Fully scriptable.

  Regarding control schemes - yes and yes.

  1. You can arrange a payment to Scirra if you wish to remove this ad.

  2. Not sure about this one. Probably not.

  3. I'd email Scirra for clarification about that.

  Kyatric I've always remembered you saying that. That's why I will always support the arrow keys ;)

  This is why we are excited about Node-Webkit, which is showing performance identical to chrome, perfect fullscreen, and export to windows, mac, and linux already!

  Kyatric, what does that do? Launch the game's first layout? Excellent, didn't know that.

  Make sure the collision polygon is circle.

  Wait - whaa?

  That's all well and good, but how is the HTML5 game going to work? Or are you remaking it in native code?

  Joannesalfa I would agree with 0plus1 in the fact that some of us are forgetful. I always forget to set collision polygons to square, and I ALWAYS forget to change the stupid layout back to the one I want ;)

  I'm not sure about the polygon suggestion anymore, as I'm pretty sure polygon shape means nothing if you never test for collision.
