Updates:

  • Added a command to change the maximum money.
  • HUD has been moved to the top corner of the screen.

  • Because of the new aspect ratio, the default view distance is medium instead of far.
  • The minimum distance for course and World boundary arrows is based on the view distance.
  • Test Mode can now be used with Sandbox levels.
  • 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.
