You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar I myself have it set to include the 'Debug All'.

Stumbled upon this:

I don't know what to think... but from what I've been able to discern, it is a 2D game engine that you can create games for through LUA scripting. Far from being Construct, but that particle demo is neat!

When I despair over difficulties I am having with Construct, I need only remember what alternatives are out there... no event editor!

Yeah, I'm working harder now!

That is good news!

I heard about an ice berg with mother polar bear and her cubs floating up the Thames!

Those are his children he's babysitting while Big Momma is out shopping.

Why do people spray graffiti over walls?

Expressing themselves. The same with virus makers, hackers, graveyard and streetlight vandalizers.

If I were to use a grid (tiled) map, what would be the most efficient implementation?

So far I've been experimenting with the array object. It is robust enough, within each element I can store specific tile data even on Z layer (sky/ground/underground). Fine and dandy.

Now, the problem arises when I try to populate the layout with those tiles or their graphical counterparts. If I create an instance of tile graphic for each given tile, the number of instances quickly rises into hundreds! Soon you have thousand objects on the layout. I highly doubt this is the correct approach.

For example, on 640x480 layout with 32x32 tile size there would be 20x15 tiles, which amounts to 300 instances. Now imagine I add flavors, such as transparent objects, terrain features, NPCs on top of all that.

Surely there has to be a more elegant way? I intend to build a game map of 100x100 tiles, smooth scrollable and all that. Now that is a scary amount of instances...

Quite useful! Just a minor annoyance that it creates a block if you misclick the value... I said minor.

Examples by category, eh? That'd be neat indeed.

Pretty nice!

Also, about that bug... it seems that when you select a timeline within the timeline editor, it actually doesn't get selected. Like selecting Intro doesn't show it, after you've created another timeline.

I decided to use hash tables for that.

That is... awesome... but a staggering amount of complexity... head exploding!
