Notes

After a break, we're back to our usual release cycle. We'll likely be focusing on maintenance and stability up until the next stable release now, and accordingly this release is mostly bug fixes. However there are a couple of new things: we've added four new examples to check out, such as 4-direction bomber - search the start page to find them. We're continuing to work on how mouse, touch and pen input operate in the editor, and there are some improvements when using pen input, especially in the Animations Editor. Finally we've also updated the editor to support the latest JavaScript syntax features, such as optional chaining (?.) - but remember to check browser support when using new features. Happy new year and stay tuned for more updates!

Let us know with a thumbs up!

    C3 release: r230 (beta)

  • Now that i've seen the ladder example I know how to make my game! :)

  • Hello. I am translating the update. Can you tell me what "regression in" means?

  • Hello. After updating to r230, I can't view the project anymore. When I press the preview button (any type of preview), I see just a black screen.

    The timer is stopped at 0.

    If I go to debug preview and pause the game and after that unpause, the game will start loading, but it will get stuck.

    Anybody knows from what?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for this release,I would like to help you fix the bug

    I can report bugs with screenshot and screencast etc..., where should I put this so that it's the most efficient for you ?
