This release adds some new features:

  • Added a composite asset which is meant to replace the imagepack asset. Instead of showing just one image at a time, it can display an arbitrary number of images at a time depending on which of its tags are activated.
  • Changed the implementation of the reveal/typewriter effect: It now uses CSS animations and uses opacity on the characters in place instead of adding characters to the textbox one after the other.
  • Added a precompiler to make games easier to write.

It also changed a lot of things under the hood for engine developers:

  • node build now uses browserify to package dependencies not compatible with using.js.
  • browserifyToUsing.js exports modules packaged with browserify to using.js.
  • Everything engine users need is exported to folder export/.
  • node package creates a ZIP file for the engine with an appropriate name that can be used for releases.
  • Created some new libraries and included them to minimize dependency of MO5. MO5 should be completely replaced in later releases, so that we can switch to using only npm+browserify for modules.
