janroth check out "8 bit boy",large Mario style platformer, made with C2 has a good solid console type feel to it...

So lets assume you use classic and make a great game people want to play and even pay for...(hope you do)

To start with, It would take at least a few years work to come up with a Mario sized platformer, after years of effort and time you have your completed game in Exe format...

Even if you initially started this for fun and had no intention of selling it, by this time you will consider it has value ??

It will only ever run on a desktop PC, and then someone will ask if there is a version for android or maybe Mac...I guarantee at that point you will wish you had used C2...

As you say, most large projects on Classic have been either abandoned or ported to a different engine, this is telling you to use C2...

The ghost shooter example bundled into C2 is a good example of this...

Ok, oh well, no problem...

Ps right clicking once in the system comes back to space

Ok I have come up with something, not exactly like your example but it's what I thought you wanted, I quickly knocked this together so, It won't be the only way to do it, and sure there is a more elegant way, but it is easy to work with being able to graphically change each system without any hassle...

run the capx and click on a system to see the planets in that system...

after doing that a red highlight square appears over each planet allowing further interaction (needs adding)...it may help jog some ideas of your own or a base for you to work on...or maybe no help at all??...it would be more efficient using scaling rather than the large sprite I used but this was just for speed...

ok I have an idea, I will get back to you soon

Do you mean the set up or the placing of doors?...I'd have thought an array to set levels up would be the way to go, or even multiple pre built layouts for each "map" with rooms sprite having doors at different positions in different frames...

GeometriX and JohnnySheffield

Thanks for clearing that up, good to know that standard HTML5 security is not compromised by C2 and node-webkit...

GeometriX Maybe I'm playing devils advocate a little and personally have no use for running an Exe...

I would be the first to admit I am no web developer, and thought that the HTML5 environment was closed off from the system, but, I am pretty aware of exterior threats via internet or elsewhere, My concern is more general and for the people that are less careful...

I am a little confused as there seems to be a definitive yes and no response to this thread...

So My question is could a posted capx or exported game, uploaded to the scirra arcade for instance, carry a deliberately added, potentially unwanted program?

Aphrodite True regarding the third party plugins, but nodeWebkit is an official plug in and ships with C2...

I can't think of a valid reason to want to do this,so still think it's dodgy...

Well that's scary...I will be very cautions clicking peoples capx files to help them out now...
