From my testing it actually is a bug in Chrome since the bug does not appear in Samsung Internet. So it makes sense that the bug is tracked in Chrome.

Although you would think a company the size of Google would be all over these sort of issues long before joe public starts to raise them

Even their resources are limited compared to unleashing millions of people onto it. You're bound to find things that nobody found before.

Why do? The main idea is to be able to try before you buy, not give free users so many tools that they don't feel the need to buy. From a business standpoint that would be a rather bad idea.

Possible, yes. Easy... probably not so much.

if i wanted to have it store data remotely so it can be used from anywhere and be upto date at all times how would i go about this?

You´ll need a server with a database of some sort (or firebase)

or am i going to have to code it from scratch? my coding skill is weak right now lol

Since there is no "make my application" button you will code it from scratch either way. Construct just helps you in quite some regards.

For the calendar, this may be helpful

I had that before. It showed me as logged in but I couldn´t access anything. It cleared up when I added a sign-out button and signed out and in again. I think I caused the issue in the first place after I deleted some data tied to the app from the google play app in an attempt to remove my leaderboard score. In the end I could actually overwrite my old score with a much lower new one after doing this. (I couldn´t just reset the leaderboard in the dev console because it was already published) Reinstalling the app wasn´t enough to recover from this status.

So the steps to reproduce may be (I didn´t verify that)

1. Make app, sign in to google play

2. Delete the data tied to the app from the google play games app

3. Open the app again and it may end up in this werid state of showing to be "signed in" but unable to access any of the features (also the google play popup when signing in doesn´t appear)

4. Signing out and in again seems to solve it

If you put all the enemies in a family you can just spawn an instance of the family object and it will randomly pick one of the Instances in the family.

If it´s just a single Sprite with different animations, you can set the animation after creating it. Either with choose("animationA", "animationB",...) or if you have many animations you could use random like Set animation to "animation" & floor(random(100))

Well that´s smooth newt!

But then again :)

Like other plugins, this one is a plugin of convenience

I actually got something that I found the official plugin missing: Pre-Fire

It´s just a minor thing but right now a particle effect will only start emitting once the layout is loaded. Having it pre-fire would mean the particle effect is already there when the layout starts instead of just starting out.

Or switch to the physics behavior instead and set it to circle. May be an overkill for what you try to do though.

It´s a good idea to have things organized in groups and disable the groups you currently don´t need. Invisible does not mean inactive.
