Recently bought a chromecast and loving it. Great potential as a console for games.

Two things which might help: have you looked at scirra's google play plugin, which may well load an external library. Also here's an example for tic tac to, https://github.com/googlecast/Cast-TicTacToe-chrome

One last suggestion: Using double-buffering, where the tilemap is rendered unscaled and then render the buffered image scaled onto the canvas? Of course only the relevant region of the tilemap needs to be rendered. Perhaps this is really inefficient, just a thought.

Just trying to help, and I do have years of experience as a CAD developer (not that I know much about javascript or game development).

Ok, I think I'm missing something here, because this is an issue with raster images generally (scaling that is).

The trailer looks great!

Ashley - why is it 'low-quality' as we are dealing with raster images? Text object might be the one exception. So creating images in the layout for the largest size (i.e. fullscreen) needed and scaling down.

Perhaps another solution, if this is a scaling problem with floats, is to render a layer/layout without scaling, and then scale the whole layer/layout (rather than individually for each tile). This is assuming without scaling there are no seams (which I think is the case).

I believe there is a big difference between text and textbox. Textbox is a dom element. I think (please correct me if I'm wrong here) is rendered on the canvas and so it is efficient (the implementation is scirra's). Having said that, spritefont is best because you get consistent look across all browsers, platforms.

If you look at the rayman origins example on this post, I think the point is clear:

Clearly you can drag and drop code etc.

I'd like to see shortcuts (e.g. tab and shift-tab) for indenting and un-indenting code (abit like in visual studio or an outliner).

I think you're meant to report this as a bug, with an example cpx.

Sounds like its using Mozilla’s Emscripten compiler, so you write the code in C++, for example, and compile to the SIMD javascript.

Perhaps there might be critical sections (which slow down games) of the engine code which can to re-written in C++ and compiled as javascript, and used everywhere.
