Pack Rat v2026.10.07 — Wide screens and a first character

What's new

• Wide screens: on a screen wider than 1300 px, Pack Rat uses the room. The inventory's panels sit beside the list, and an item's details open in a panel on the right instead of a window: pick another item and they swap, ⤢ opens them as a window. The catalog's groups run down the side, and GM panels sit side by side. Settings → This device → Wide screens switches back to one column.
• A first character worth opening: a new install's Adventurer starts with things to try: a backpack whose picture fills as it's loaded, rations and arrows whose pictures count them, a compass and a totem that follow the GM's map, a pocket watch, and a deck of cards. Six new starter drawings come with them.
• The GM keeps the Inventory tab, even with no character in play.
• GM controls: the Kind list is grouped (Layout, Display, Interactive).
• The icon editor:
  • The info bar is now a How it works button.
  • Functions come in Math, Logic and Animation lists, and clicking one puts it into your formula.
  • The selected shape gets a thin outline.
  • On a phone, the tools fold away while you work on the canvas.
