yeah what you want is probably more complicated than what I have done. I realize this probably isn't exactly what you're looking for but here's a recent tutorial zatyka put together for more basic auto-tiling. He does it a little differently than I do but looks pretty good.

Katala
At this point I am pretty sure I am going to make it available for the player. When I said that before there were a few hurdles I wasn't sure if I'd be able to overcome but now I've got auto-tiling working pretty much exactly how I want it thanks to some good tips from the dev who created the AutoTileGen software.

So at least that is how I am proceeding with development--my first step is to finish and polish this level editor then I will work on creating my own levels (using my own level editor)

Webstorage is good for saving data even when players have closed and re-opened the game. So yes Webstorage is a good options for highscores

this is probably complicated than what you're looking for but for my game I am creating my own level editor that converts tilemap data to arrays, then converts to json files, then I am loading these files individually as each level is loaded.

But like I say that's more complicated than what most people want unless maybe you want to include a level editor with your game. Just wanted to throw it out there as an option for you

How do I detect if text doesn't fit in text container?

For example, I am making a level editor where players can define what NPCs will say. I can limit the number of characters in the input text box but I would rather make it so the text display sequentially, but I need a way to determine if characters fit the text area or not.

I am using Spritefont but also welcome ideas with the normal text object.

Any ideas?

looks good! Let us know when you have it on Steam Greenlight (if you go that route) so we can help upvote it

GeometriX thanks. I store the info in a few arrays then the array data is saved in json format to a file on the desktop, which can be loaded by the game later

Yeah Ludei now acknowledges there is an issue with restoring purchases but we're still waiting for them to fix it

I would caution against aiming for releasing large games for mobile with Construct 2, at least at this point in time with the current exporters available. What you may find is after creating a huge project it doesn't work very well (slow game load times, bad FPS, etc).

I would aim for smaller games and smaller APKs, if you really want to do a larger game for mobile you may want to consider using another game engine that handles memory better with mobile devices. I think there are things in the pipeline for Android and iOS but I don't really think we're there yet.

Plus I think it's just better practice in general to aim for small apk sizes. Lots of people will cancel download if it's greater than 50mb (I'm pretty sure Flappy Bird is less than 1 mb!).

(this is just my opinion, anyone please feel free to dispute this)
