If the MIME types were causing a problem, the game would probably never work, or at least be broken in a consistent way, so I doubt it's that.

When something goes wrong press F12 and check the browser console for error details.

HTML5 canvas refers to the <canvas> element. The entire game draws in to one. Canvases can have either a WebGL context (what Construct uses), or a 2D context. If you want a 2D canvas context, you have to create your own canvas.

See the manual section on scripting, specifically JavaScript in Construct. Construct uses JavaScript Modules, where scope works differently to classic scripts.

C3 does use a HTML5 canvas for the main canvas, with a WebGL context. But DrawingCanvas is not a HTML canvas, it's a WebGL render target.

Getting a Construct DrawingCanvas instance will give you the IDrawingCanvasInstance interface. You can only use the documented methods there. It looks like you're mixing it up with a HTML canvas, which it is not.

IIRC the Text object does slightly round numbers to avoid getting results like 44.9999999998, but the debugger always shows the original values.

As ever, performance is a complex and often counter-intuitive area, and it's rare that specific advice always works in all cases. The golden rule is to measure performance and make changes based on measurable results. Don't pre-emptively do complicated things: you might actually be making things worse, unless you can measure an actual improvement.

My advice would be: don't use object pooling, or in fact any kind of complicated optimisation technique, unless you have measurements that prove it's worth it for your specific game. It could vary from game to game as well, so don't assume that you should always or never do something. See also Answer your own performance questions with measurements.

Internally angles are dealt with in radians. So all angles in degrees are subject to floating-point precision issues as they are converted to and from radians, and so you shouldn't rely on specific angles. Use conditions like "Is within angle" with a very small angle range.

The default multiplayer plugin already includes some turn servers. Stun is what you're looking for

Actually it's the other way round: there are some built-in STUN servers, which can broker connections, but not link up devices with restrictive NAT. You need to provide your own TURN server, which acts as a relay and so has to retransmit the entire bandwidth used by the gameplay, to ensure devices with restrictive NAT can still communicate.

I'd advise to use Construct in a browser instead. NW.js has long had a bunch of issues that never happen in a browser, and browsers now have virtually all the same features as the NW.js version.

I just tried it and it seems to work fine for me using an incognito window to test what a new user sees.
