The size of the layout is irrelevant. All that matters is the size of the tilemap texture, and the amount of things, or objects doing something.

Data structures is another issue.

For example: try making a highscore list with badges, times, highscores, names, etc, and then sort it by something other than high score.

You can't do it unless you store it in instance variables. Array's, and dictionaries are pretty much useless, and I don't even wanna dare try to try to figure it out in Json.

My issue with the dom, and html elements is that they are always on top, and not rendered at the same time.

We need a webgl equivalent.

Keep in mind that many features such as scaling, scrolling, ordering, etc are not trivial things to set up, even for seasoned users.

Having to set those things up every time is very taxing.

If you're not very familiar with the query system you can try a simple password system.

They purchase access, you tell them a password after payment, they enter the pass in the game.

The game itself, like all websites, is public.

The List object is one of those building blocks that can really save a ton of time. It can solve the issues of sorting, scrolling, limiting overflow, and many other things.

But it's a dom element.

That won't work. You can't keep a secret after you tell it.

You can require a password.

Edit:

What he said ^

Also there's many other ways to get an address than looking at source code.

No, but you can use the Browser plug to check a variable in the url:

QueryParam

Return a query string parameter by name. For example, if the URL ends with index.html?foo=bar&baz=ban, QueryParam("foo") returns bar and QueryParam("baz") returns ban.

A game engine whose forte is rapid development should have a solid gui system.

It's not like these things aren't a regular thing in programing:

Hell half the "Hello World" tutorials depend on them.

Move at angle aka bullet if you don't want to use a third party behavior.

Here's this:

construct.net/en/make-games/addons/252/tilemap-flood-fill
Per pixel operations are still a bit too slow for a floodfill, so this would be the closest viable solution.

No, but then again the reverse would also be no.

Nothing works like that.
