Construct runs fine on mac using windows emulator/virtual machines.

While that is true, it's never as easy flipping between true Mac and a VM, handling the different icon types etc, exploring files and other OS linked things.

To store the data on the internet you will need a server to save it on. Being able to save with PHP/mySQL will allow you to store data on your server.

Here's a tutorial that allows that https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/346/online-high-score-table-ajax-php-mysql

Alternatively, you could set up a multiplayer game, so it's realtime ONLY and then use the host to collect the answers. https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/892/multiplayer-tutorial-1-concepts

The million dollar question is how you would be able to pass the design data back to WooCommerce?

Not knowing WooCommerce, I will anticipate that you will need to use the REST Api along with AJAX calls.

(https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#introduction)

There is also potentially the PHP route if you're more comfortable there.

This post mentioned that they integrated it, but not likely to your detailed level. https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/construct-3-as-app-making-soft-125202?kws=woocommerce

This may (or may not) be what you're looking for.

It will save the screenshot, but not the wallpaper part.

So it's not closing the game that gives the error, but opening it a second (and third etc) time that creates the error?

Are you doing something differently the second+ time. Eg: Do you create system objects the first open, and read them on subsequent ones?

Set Value strTime mid((Browser.ExecJS("Date()")),17,8)

Also, this article had an interesting take on elapsed time. if that helps!

https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/how-do-i-compare-time-between-141171?kws=elapsed%2btime

Edit: Its not pretty, but you can then use a function to break it down into what you want. Ie: Pass

Set Value strHour mid((Browser.ExecJS("Date()")),17,2)

Set Value strMinute mid((Browser.ExecJS("Date()")),20,2) or preferably return it once and work on that variable instead of multiple browser calls.

You can, just turn off diagonals and it will pathfind on a block by block basis.

This Kyatric video shows this specifically.

If you sign out of your personal OneDrive, then sign back in under the student account it should save there.

As far as I know, Construct doesn't look at that level, it is just a mapped drive.

Just remember to copy your stuff out once you leave school/college.

I'd suggest you create a super simple project with 1 sprite and see if that works.

If it does, do you have large files? Are you on your home/office network? (I don't have a lot of luck remote testing on networks in places like coffee shops)

Then I remove plugins one by one until it works.

While C3 has some great speed improvements with the C3 runtime, I doubt that will affect your question.

Online multiplayer I expect is pretty much the same as C2 unless you use Playfab or Firebase plugin in the Master Collection add-on.

Online lag could be indicative of the volume of data you're transferring, so perhaps ask that question in a post? (The super new add-on for Binary might facilitate that too)

While technically you can, this is something I've tried to do without a huge amount of success.

- iframes won't always load a clients web site. This would require the client to modify their site(s)

- PDFs can't be loaded in C3 at this time. C2 had plugins available, but C3 does not at this time.

- SQL Can be written via scripting.

- I had issues getting the screen to look right without having to create forms online.

Simplistically you can write everything elsewhere as web/css, and use Construct 3 as a shell to view it all. I'm not sure how iOS publishable it will be that route however.
