As regards canvas, are you using 'grab layout' option?

FormatDecimal(number, N)

Returns a string with number given to N decimal places, eg. FormatDecimal(5.7777, 2) gives 5.78

-Construct wiki

Dont' forget to convert string back to float!

What about just using zoom (without res\layout size changing), for both window and fullscreen?

I've used this in my last game which was with lo-res graphics and didn't mentioned any issues

Yeah, why not

Well, save\load is realy buggy, but objects don't save their UID even if you're re-entering layout, so it's not save\load's fault this time, I think

(btw, something wrong with this topic: when I click on "new posts" it always open first page)

I'm tying to load objects and its values aka properties but I need help

for group in mapfile.getElementsByTagName ('objectgroup'):
      for obj in group.getElementsByTagName('object'):
           objName=str(obj.attributes['name'].value)
           objX = int(obj.attributes['x'].value)
           objY = int(obj.attributes['y'].value)
           System.Create (objName, 'obj', objX, objY )
           newobj = eval('SOL.'+objName)

#thats all works, problem is here:

           newobj.SetValue ('target', int(obj.properties.attributes['target'].value))

Personally, I always pronounce it as 'Sseerah', but here in Russia most people says (and writes in Russian transcription) as 'Skeerah' or even often 'Stseerah' (because of Latin 'C' usualy used as "?"-'Ts' in Russian )

<font color=white>What, did they died in the end or something? I've noticed, soldier from rescue team is singing Wagner's The flight of Valkyries (if I'm correct), same as in opening scene, where they was attacked by monsters, so opening is what happened after the end . After re-watching this scene I'm sure I saw dead or injured Sam on the road...</font>

It's not only platform behavior, other motion-based behaviors suffers from this disadvantage too.

It's more noticeable with lower FPS instead higher though. So unlimited mode not really affects jump height too much.

( Actually, I just checked it right now, and I don't know if it was semi-fixed, but looks like fps dependency somehow reduced now. I think year ago it was more critical)

Actualy, V-sync has some disadvantages too. On different PCs, game may acts differently, most critical exemple is variation of jump height in platformer depending on user's monitor freshrate

And more incomplete :)
