Drivers should always be update-able right?

Actually no. My laptop has custom drivers made by Toshiba, so I can't update them unless Toshiba does (which they haven't). This is a lot more common than you'd think, too...

P.s. I was quoting someone else there. :3 It still applied to me, though. My laptop is only 6 though, not 11. That's just crazy.

Has anyone found a solution or work around for the sound issues.

My sound isn't consistent across all platforms. On iPhone 4 it will play BG music but no SFX (i think i saw something about the sound being truncated). On Android both SFX and BG music work but lag quite a bit.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Safari is still implementing HTML5 audio support.

Steve Jobs never wanted people to play web games on their phones, he wanted them to buy them through Apple from the App store.

We should get Tom's comment a post in on some walls out there... it sucks to hear people talking how bad flash was and that it was a deserved death. Trust me, there are people telling me that flash is not good for animation! Damm you Steve!

Some of his points were valid, even if commercially motivated. Not all though.

Uploaded my game Mole's Holes

It should run fairly well on iPhone 5 and iPad 2-3.

It is worth mentioning that if you press the share button on a mobile device in Safari, you can press' "Add To Home Screen". This will create an App icon, so you can access the game when ever you want. The beauty of Construct2 is that when you first play it and load the game, you can play it offline too. So really you can use them like normal apps.

Another thing people should check out if they are interested I'm developing in HTML5 is this post by Ashley,
