comment What is a reliable and easy way to build an AI?
They don't, because their behavior is too simple (intentional). Even with an AI engine you wouldn't notice any difference. Closest to an "AI" would probably be the "Magikoopa" from Super Mario World, as they pick a pseudo random position where they appear, while being able to shoot the player, so there is essentially some decision making happening in background. But other than that, most enemies (in all games of the series) are either based on a few triggers or completely "dumb fire".

comment Repeat texture in a scrolling game
Look at the set U(V) coordinates, there's no repetition right now.

comment Filtering (e.g. Gauss blur) on seamless textures but without border artifacts?
One layer will have artifacts around the outer borders, like [], while the other layer will have artifacts in the center, like + (due to moving the contents). Yet they'll still overlap at four points (so you can't just blend them there). I assume by "blend manually" you mean things such as deleting the areas with artifacts from the upper layer.

There'll still be some areas where you'll artifacts, i.e. where the borders of both layers (after correcting the offset) meet.

comment Horizontal scroll only part of the view
Are we talking about limiting camera movement or are we talking about drawing some parts of the screen always at the same position (like UI elements)?

comment Is “forcing the user” to accept the terms an acceptable design in a smartphone/iPhone game?
Is there some online account creation or anything similar? If so, you could just combine both things at once. Otherwise I guess just showing a box with the agreement is the "best" solution legal wise. Try to get a text that is as short as possible. Noone likes being greeted by a wall of text. I could even think of adding a short "TL;DR" section in front of the EULA so people can skimp through as well, making it less of an "oh my god, they try to spy on me or make me buy something".

It's no simple fading, they're animating the change with models morphing etc.

comment Why no night sky with realistic star constellations?
Yes and no, there's a limited set of fixed star backgrounds based on the region you're in. On top of that layer they add adjacent solar systems (you can reach with local stargates) as additional stars.
