Seriously, anyone involved in hacking or attacking seriously needs to get a life. There's so many better things I can think of to do than that.

See here:

Sprites don't really add any more rendering time than tiled backgrounds, so it's fine to use them.

It means we haven't got around to fully themeing the IDE so that they'll look their best yet.

Note though that if you use textured particles, you lose that speed increase .

It has helped us get some work so far .

Definitely a nice thing to have to your name, especially after 1.0 (when it'll hopefully be deployed to schools, etc).

That's DirectWrite, which is certainly a very impressive text rendering API.

The 'Direct2D' part seems to look interesting, but I'm not sure whether it'd really have any benefits over something like our current system.

You could use for a 'for' or 'repeat x times' loop to go through the variables and check them, if they are all named something like 'Variable5', 'Variable28' or something.

One thing we could add though is a 'For each private variable', which may help here.

It's never subtracting anything from 0, only from 1 .

Well for one thing, I understood that the two programs were related somehow.

Many documents are convertible from one format to another.

Thank you for your timely reply, I do dislike it though when people answer a question with a question.

As others have said, there's no relation in the software; we are looking to change our file format to a more open and readable .xml format for Construct 2, but until then it's unfeasable that there could be any co-mingling in file formats between other programs.

Good idea, added it .

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Why would it be..? Other applications have proprietary file formats which are nearly impossible to reverse engineer. You'll have to remake anything you've made in anything else.
