  Yes.

  I guess I need to start using joke tags, or just stop trying to be funny.

  All browsers on Ios are made out of Safari, so they are pretty much the same. Apple doesn't allow competition on its products.

  Well in my experience there are basically two ways to set things up.

  First the database way with rows,/colums, or x/y.

  Second is a list where information is stored like a stack, in no particular order, other than when it is created.

  Both of those can be done with the Array object, but it would suffer from the conversion of strings to numbers.

  I remember Arsonide wanting to do something like this on CC. He even made a few plugs to simulate a universe.

  To be honest it was a bit much to expect even in CC. Planning events that happen beyond the viewport is just very complicated.

  I guess the question is what kind of database do you need beyond an xy locator with a single storage space at that location?

  There are really no limitations except those of javascript, and html.

  Above where it says Manual there's the sdk documentation https://www.scirra.com/manual/15/sdk

  As far as your detection thing it can done via events using a little system knowledge of "for each", and distance(), or if you must have a behavior the Line of Sight behavior will do the same. Might check that out.

  Depends on the game I guess. Then again I've seen games with translations bigger than 3mb.

  They do that to limit abuse. For example if it were free some one could create hundreds, if not thousands of accounts, and do all sorts of social engineering.

  If it were for at runtime it would be as simple as a loop in the on start of layout. Of course a custom editor would be best for that.

  Otherwise the closest example might be the tilemap plug, but I think that is a single instance.

  Multiple instances?

  The process is designed for one instance at a time, and even adding multiple objects like Spriter does is a bit contrived.

  So the answer would be no, it would have to be done manually.

  Yep, was thinking of using that to do a collision map for a tanks game à la https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=92929&hilit=tanks
