We’re busy doing a lot of things \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The pull request with our own sprite sheet editor and format is in-progress<\/a>. Thanks to Andrzej Kilija\u0144ski!<\/i>\n <\/li>\n

  2. \n

    New tutorial is being finished: using CGE editor<\/a>, from scratch to a complete game. Thanks to Eugene Loza!<\/i>\n <\/li>\n

  3. \n

    GPU-based particles in 2D and 3D. See forum posts about GPU-based 3D particle system for CGE (with editor)<\/a>, 2D particle system now supports GPU-based particles<\/a>. Thanks to Trung Le (Kagamma)!<\/i><\/p>\n

    Try it out already — I want to make dedicated posts about them, and also think about integrating into engine core in the future.\n <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The new engine features available now as part of regular engine download<\/a>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      CGE editor: Directory operations: create, delete directory from the editor. Proper refresh (to show new dirs on the left, available in both panels, done automatically too when switching applications).<\/p>\n

    2. \n

      CGE editor: Undo for properties changed by a dialog (thanks to Eugene Loza<\/i>).<\/p>\n

    3. \n

      CGE editor: Easier textual input of TCastleTransform.Scale<\/code>, you can just type a single float (by Andrzej Kilija\u0144ski<\/em> and Michalis<\/em>).<\/p>\n

    4. \n

      CGE editor: Less alarming exception messages. Better behavior when opening invalid design files.<\/p>\n

    5. \n

      CGE editor: Remembers window state and sizes (thanks to Eugene Loza<\/i>).<\/p>\n

    6. \n

      glTF: Support STEP interpolation in animations (you can try glTF-Sample-Models\/2.0\/InterpolationTest\/ (from Khronos) to test<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    7. \n

      glTF: Important reading fix<\/a>, in particular visible on some Kenney glTF models<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    8. \n

      Sprite sheets<\/a> and images<\/a> loaded to TCastleScene<\/code>: by default do not force power-of-2 texture.<\/p>\n

    9. \n

      Physics: gravity strength<\/a>, very useful for 2D game when often 1 unit is not 1 meter (thanks to Andrzej Kilija\u0144ski<\/i>).<\/p>\n

    10. \n

      Physics: capsule collider<\/a> (thanks to Andrzej Kilija\u0144ski<\/i>).<\/p>\n

    11. \n

      Transform feedback (TGLSLProgram.SetTransformFeedbackVaryings<\/a>) with demo in examples\/3d_rendering_processing\/transform_feedback.lpr<\/a> (thanks to Trung Le (Kagamma)<\/i>).<\/p>\n

    12. \n

      Theme images now use TCastlePersistentImage<\/a> (thanks to Eugene Loza<\/i>). Updated documentation about theme<\/a> — the usage is now often simpler.<\/p>\n

    13. \n

      Fixes to handlings URLs with anchors (by Andrzej Kilija\u0144ski<\/em> and Michalis<\/em>).\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
