v1.4.0 — Bitmap fonts, integrated debugger, ct.inherit, modules overhaul, and more!


✨ New Features

  • Bitmap fonts — see new docs on how to use them. These fonts solve issues with blurry pixel art fonts in games, and also provide higher performance for dynamic text!
  • ct.assert module for readable checks in ct.js projects
  • ct.camera now supports direct assignment for its scale, e.g. ct.camera.scale = 1.5;
  • ct.inherit module that allows you to call parents' code and keep things DRY
  • Custom font selector in the style editor
  • Lucas Dracula theme — A rough port of Arkham theme for VSCode by @lucasmsa
  • Modding: onbeforecreate injection
  • Modding: A code input type for monospace text input
  • Modding: Add point2D input type for modules' settings and injections
  • Modding: Add extensions for rooms with roomExtends field
  • Modding: Add extensions to tile layers with tileLayerExtends field
  • Modding: Both module settings and asset extensions now can use all the input fields that were previously exclusive to either modules' settings or type extensions
  • Module's settings are now parts of the Project Settings' tab
  • Quickly create a new type by right-clicking an asset in the textures panel
  • Unified module's docs in the side panel

⚡️ General Improvements

  • Allow ct.fittoscreen to toggle fullscreen mode while being in an electron app (in a desktop build) Closes #155
  • Allow games enter fullscreen while being in the debugger See #155
  • Better project selector background for night themes
  • Better layout of a type editor
  • Change ct.place.tile to check against collision groups (new!) instead of depth
  • Improve the Horizon theme
  • Make the structural behavior of TileLayer consistent. Fixes drawing issues with tiles and ct.place debug mode
  • Minor UI fixes for the project selector
  • More logical color hierarchy — you will see subtle changes in how certain panels are colored in dark and light themes, and all themes should now have uniform look and feel
  • Move depth input at the type editor into a scroll box, on par with module-provided fields
  • New icons for the top panel
  • Refurbish project's settings screen
  • Remove empty "help" field from ct.place > module.json

  • The left button group at the topmost tab bar now occupies less space on wider screens
  • Update Russian UI translation
  • Update Spanish translation for ct.IDE. Update by Stuck Up Creations from the Discord server ✨
