Hey everyone, I just deployed a new engine update!

New Flowlab Release: GUAVA

This release is focused on improving the UI. It now does a much better job of dealing with screen resizing, and offers some new interactions like drag and drop. It also introduces a lot of new “Quality of Life” improvements to the Library and Level panels.

:sparkles:New UI Updates

  • Reposition windows when editor is resized
  • Update Sprite editor when window is resized
  • Update Behavior editor when window is resized
  • Level window scrolls all levels (no more paging, cough @todorrobot )
  • Level window centers and highlights current level
  • Setting a level order value no longer swaps with another level
  • Make objects draggable into level (from library)
  • Make behaviors draggable into behavior window (from left panel)
  • Add Object Folders to library
  • Add Vibrate behavior
  • Add Accelerometer behavior
  • Mobile SDKs updated to the latest versions for iOS and Android
  • “Copy on Update” setting for Lists

:open_file_folder:To use the new Object Folders:

  • drag two objects together to make a folder
  • drag an object into a folder to move it there
  • drag an object to the “exit” button to remove it from the current folder
  • click the window title when in a folder to rename it
  • folders can be nested

:beetle: Bug fixes:

  • Fix Label center and right alignment
  • Fix labels getting truncated on load
  • Enable blank lines in multiline labels
  • Clean up collisions when removing all objects from Library
  • Fix label loading race conditions (Once → Alpha bug)

Please let me know if you encounter any issues, thanks!

Awesome update! All the Label fixes and quality of life changes are really nice, and the folders may force me to actually organize stuff for once :slight_smile:

Hey @grazer ,
I have been struggling with a rather inconspicuous bug. If you clone an input or output of a bundle, like I often accidentally end up doing, it will become extremely janky. The cloned in/out will not work properly and when it is deleted it will delete one of the other input and output nodes to connect to outside the bundle (not the actual in/out in the block). I would assume this is because bundles use variables to calculate the in/out count and deleting the clone reduces that variable count without actually reducing the number of nodes.

Actually, i agree with you, i got really frustrated with the behaviour output.

I guess while I am here I should mention that very large dimensioned screens (30+ block width and height) awkwardly stretch when test playing inside a block.
