  Maybe make a test where a game doesn't need garbage collection.

  I feel the appropriate level of sarcasm was used.

  I understand your need to rebuke the comment. I also feel the level of it was unnecessary.

  C3's touch feature set is incomplete. You will want to use something that at least has a mouse.

  Then you'll want something with a keyboard that includes a numpad if you plan on doing anything at a reasonable pace.

  3d is pretty much off the table, but 2.5D(ish) would be a reasonable request.

  I mean editor specific tools for such things as isometric, mode7, and orthogonal.

  You have multiple "for each" running in a single function.

  Use variables, use functions sparingly.

  You can use the object index if you have objects being destroyed.

  "For Each" is a system loop meaning the process has to finish before the rest of the rest of the tick can complete.

  For occasions that require iterating over a large number of instances it would be better to do so per tick on each, or a small group of objects, rather than choking the cpu.

  A variable compare is a decent method to do so.

  global myindex < object.count

  ->object.variable= global myindex, do foo

  ->add 1 to global myindex

  Shouldn't "get me out of here" be a behavior?

  On its own, and not a feature of another plug.

  There's lots of little quirks that need fixing, but I really doubt they will be addressed since they stopped upgrades.

  If it was you would expect to see a few hints in the sdk.

  Hooks for editime would likely show up first.
