  tgeorgemihai ive been planning to do something like this,

  and im thinking about 2 ways to do it,

  via saving objectdata to json and loading them in like buildingblock at different positions, like a looping background

  (saving part of a level as a buildingblock)

  (using c2 saving or plugin spritebank/instancebank

  using arraydata from plugin Tmx importer, make buildingblocks in Tiled, and then generate the array from the different arraydata buildingblocks, then generate the tiles

  i read that the best way to optimise collision checking is

  by excluding/filtering objects or by doing a every .. seconds and putting the filtering events on top before the collision check

  but collision checking is a trigger, so is always on top,

  should i put the collision checks in a subevent?

  im just confused, any tips, help?

  when doing a show collision polys i see that every sprite, including sprites that will never use collisions, have a "best guess" poly on it,

  should that be like that? doesn't that take extra resources how small it may be?

  i see that there is disable collision property, should i do that for every object that doesn't need collision? it doesn't seem to change the polygon display

  i also rather have a rectangle poly by default, if its for ease of use for cases where you need "best guess" by default i think it should be in preferences or project settings

  trance there are a lot of people, if there is an issue with cocoonjs, they get a black screen, so probably its the app that is corrupt

  1280x720 is indeed 16:9 > 1280/16*9=720

  trance have you asked the appthwack team, why it shows only black screens? does it atleast work on one your device?

  this seems a good online emulator

  manymo.com/emulators

  a cloud based testing platform seems to be a good option, question is, does it work like it should? is it affordable(for starters)

  more are popping up

  im a sucker for interface improvements so i would definetly like to see it,if possible, but there are some things to consider

  what with comma delimeted numbers?

  some things cant be scrolled

  some numbers have min-limit

  how much does it add-detract, > default could be 1 ofcourse

  not to say that these are big things, but could complicate things

  hgstudio

  the example generates a random object from the family but checks if its not the previous one

  your probably looking for something like a string or array with the objects name in and once created remove it from that list, there should be some examples for it in forum, no time right now for example
