    Strangely enough, I'd have pegged Newt for a Trump supporter.

    Don't know why.

    No, but I would have figured you for an athletic supporter for all the ******* you do.

  • Um, bullet with acceleration.

    Don't use object angle.

    There's a bit of tweeking, but the behavior does it nicely.

  • Maybe a bit Russian.

    I would say Germanic.

  • Its pretty thick.

    Not terrible, but it definitely needs some enunciation on some words.

    Events sounds like evants, etc.

  • Sprites aren't made to work with 20-50 1080p images as frames, that's part of your problem.

    A sprites job is to load everything into memory when it's created. So instead of loading one image after another the system hangs while everything loads.

    While loading by url alleviates that problem by giving you asynchronous loading, it does not reduce gpu memory usage.

    Memory is memory, it can't be reduced by sideloading it. In fact I think it can raise memory use as those textures may be ignored by garbage collection.

    A better solution would be 20-50 sprite objects loaded one at a time from another layout via a timer so as to not bog down the system.

  • You can't have it both ways.

    It either gets loaded at the start of the layout by placing it in the layout, or it gets loaded from another layout by creating it.

    Loading locally by url is completely pointless as it's the same as loading from another layout.

  • You teach the server to create a localised rooms.

  • Seems like the obvious solution would be an on screen keyboard object.

    A: A lack of a standard ensures no two different browsers handle it the same way.

    B: You get customisable keyboards.

  • Pick a scale.

    If you have room, you can upscale 1/4 size over to account for all the other scales.

    Keep in mind that doesn't work for textured objects like tilemap, tiled background, and 9patch.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Seriously, I'd make my own keyboard out of sprite frames.

  • I'm sorry you feel you've been unsuccessful with that many sales, or because of what it can't do for you.

    I just happen to feel that I've been successful because of what it has done for me.

    I also feel that constantly complaining about something that's never going to change does nothing except... build walls.

  • Um, reading image data takes a tick fwiw.
