• Replaced Crystallize view lens with a mirror effect.
• Updated example file to suit 3D tiles.
• Some sprites and tiles have been slightly updated.
• Invisible jump-through blocks are now on the same "layer" as other jump-through tiles, so they can be placed over more things.
• Added ground patterns as background or foreground decoration (See their use in Course 4a of the updated example file)
• Fixed: Uploaded backgrounds which vertically tile do not work with vertical movement.
• Fixed: Pipe openings are not solid.
• Note: Due to recent changes in the camera, please review that you have the desired distance setting for your views in the area settings.
• Note: Due to recent changes in the aspect ratio, please update your game screens. This is especially important for games that you have published.
