Quote from: Jon on January 07, 2012, 11:52:39 pmI think that if you use Adobe AIR to package the app up (using the Captive Runtime, meaning that the whole runtime is embedded in the .app), you can a full-screen game that's fully native, and persistent storage will happen in a more appropriate fashion. I'll have to read up on exactly what it does, but it should do things right. If you've heard of the game Machinarium - it was atop the Mac App Store charts for a while (and the iOS ones too!). Although we plan to roll out our own fully native Mac app packager based on iStencyl, this route of using AIR could work nicely enough.I'm not 100% sure about what the generated projector does in terms of how it stores its data. It might share it with the browser, or it might store it elsewhere.If you use Adobe Air, will it require a separate plugin the user will have to download, or will it be integrated?

"Pro" is iStencyl Pro. Which means the games made with it are destined for iPhones and iPads - none of which use cursors of any kind, since you touch the screen instead of mouse around on it.

Stencylworks 2.0 will have Mac and Windows apps.
