You might also want to come up with a mime-type for the capx so that browsers can auto open the editor from a link.

Thanks everyone!

I really learn best by digging into sourcecode and example projects. Is there a collection of sample projects recommended by Scirra that I could download or check out?

Note that YQL can output any of its data to csv.

BTW Here's a link to some game art resources http://opengameart.org/

A free for all is good in that you get a lot of folks who can take what they are working on and direct it to a competition. I think you might want to set up a few things - like saying the game has to have a start screen, a "score" of some kind, and an ending -- basic things like that instead of saying "it has to be a space shooter".

If you have a theme, try to do something like "rebirth" or "seasons" -- something folks can take and run with.

Don't just have 1 winner - folks may give up if they thing they would only come in 2nd or 3rd. Perhaps having winners like "best use of theme" and "best overall" but also "people's choice" perhaps...

I'm looking for a capx or some other example of a zelda style game in Construct 2 -- looking for the techniques basically for movement, collsion, tiles, etc.

My first test game in construct 2 - yes it's lame, but it's MY lame :)

I'm up and running now! Got the license. How do I get the nice little early adopter badge for my avatar?

Is there a site that collects all the "open source" demo games that are being created? Having a repository somewhere would be awesome.

I would recommend TapJS TapJS

I wonder, what kind of feedback to you guys need in order to make a better app? Just wishlists doesn't seem all that useful. Like are there specific areas you are focusing on that you wish you had more feedback on? Or perhaps you want to know among 10 things which one the community wants more? Stuff like that.
