I love making apps with C2 because it saves you enormous amount of time comparing to normal coding.

Is it still true if you are using popular frameworks or a well-know engine like UE4 or Unity?

Also, if I understood your post right, you are saying that if someone gets familiar with C2, it's easier for them to jump over to traditional languages?

And our community is great!

True. It's the best I've seen so far. It's amazing that how helpful the people are whenever they are on this forum or on Facebook or in a Skype group, etc.. C2 has it's magic

Form elements are HTML elements floating over the page, so can use CSS but not layering/blending/effects, whereas text objects are in the canvas so can't use CSS but can use layering/blending/effects.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that the text object is also a HTML element.

I'd like to address the questions in the title and below to teachers and developers alike. I'm really curious about this topic, especially since there was a mention in the forums a while ago, when someone said that Construct 2 teaches bad programming practices.

What is you experience regarding the programming knowledge (or computational thinking) you learned from using Construct 2? Do your students or you benefit from that knowledge? If you tried other programming methods after Construct 2's visual event system, what was your experience? Did you felt yourself a bit familiar in the new environment?

Thank you for anyone who can spare the time to answer these questions.

Yes, it's possible, but you'll build and APK with Cordova like you do with XDK. Only, with Visual Studio you have more freedom to customize the process. But it's not native.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that you built a Cordova export which only works on Android 5+. Go into the Build settings of your project and scroll down to Crosswalk Runtime. Is it set to embedded?

I thought the antivirus bug was just a false positive preventing start?

True. Preventing start and even installing. This is a seperate issue.

+1 Yes, currently we can use the Set CSS Style action for form elements, but it would be better if the Text object could be formatted like that too.

Also, an action to load a CSS file to format elements would be nice, since now we have to set up all CSS commands in seperate actions. If the webfont can be set from a CSS file, why not the formatting too?

This might be an import problem. Did you try re-importing it or increasing the bitrate at the import?

Congratulations Scirra deserves to be at the top. I'm glad that both sides acted open minded about the false votes and corrected the issue.

It would be good if they give you a licence if you bought one for Construct 2

They have to eat too Based on the quality of their products, I'd say they deserve the money.

People have made games in flash, let's forget about native and see where html5 actually goes first

That's the way.

Yup, sadly it changed quickly

Since there are excellent VOIP programs for gamers (TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, etc.) I don't think your game would benefit from such a feature. The last time I saw a game where built in VOIP added some plus to the gameplay and fun was in Guns of Icarus Online.

But to answer your question: I don't know if it's possible with the vanilla C2, but it's certainly doable with a 3rd party plugin (you might just have to write it).

Edit: Here's an other topic about this:
