Notes

This release includes some new features for Flowcharts. One significant update is you can now form circular structures with flowcharts - i.e. you can have an output at the end of a flowchart now connect back to the beginning. This should make it much more useful to use for things like state machines. There's a variety of other flowcharts improvements, including being able to pathfind links around nodes instead of just drawing a straight line (useful for back-connections), as well as usability improvements like being able to re-color lines and animate them when selected.

Other improvements include some new system features, using mouse buttons 4 and 5 (on certain hardware), some optimizations for looping conditions and reducing gamepad input latency, and a batch of bug fixes. Happy testing!

  • lots of surprises! Great update!

    StringSub is an absolute game-changing update! No more using & to concatenate strings!

    Before:

    "Bye string" & var1 & "string" & var2 & "something" & var3 & "string"

    After:

    StringSub("string {0} and {1} and {2} string", var1, var2, var3)

    :

    StringSub("Hello, {0}! Welcome to {1}", Variable1, Variable2)

  • Amazing update, I dig everything in it. Awesome to see many suggestions added as well.

    About the mouse buttons, I would love if we could have a way to handle mouse input by button index, similar to the keyboard or gamepad. This would make remapping mouse inputs much easier.

  • Pick by highest/lowest value! YESSS!!!

  • Awesome! Adding suggested features is great! Pls look into the dark theme suggestion on github (its hard to use cause of huge white contrast on selected item, looks like a bug or something that was ignored to begin with since dark theme with light gray is horrible for the eyes, thanks)

  • Thank you for your work

  • I'm unable to fully test yet but is anyone else seeing new errors with WebGL1 compatibility in the beta? My testing so far is with WebGPU set to auto.

    Backwards compatibility what a pain!

  • Lots of great additions in this update. Thank you
