Thanks to the 15+ contributors that helped with improvements, new features and bug fixes for this release! 🙌

✨ New features

  • Add autocompletions when typing an expression:

    • Completions will show objects, behaviors and functions that you can use when typing an expression. image

    • When editing a function, it will show the expected parameters and its description. image

  • New "Jump Sustain Time" property for the Platformer Object behavior: specify a maximum time during which the jump strength is sustained, if the jump key is held.

    • This is an easy way to make variable height jumps. The object can make a small jump by just tapping the jump key (or simulating it with events) or a longer one by holding the key.
