Tuesday JS Release 54

Release of desktop version for Linux and using Electron framework.

Small studios and educational institutions have increasingly started to switch to Linux, mainly because of its availability. This is what prompted us to make a Linux version of the editor.

For convenience, the program is packed into deb and rpm files that can be used by most package managers. With their help, everything you need will be automatically added to the right places and shortcuts will be created in the quick access menu.

Other updates:

• The Windows version will also be distributed in an msi file for installation.

• Working with variables will be changed, in order to avoid compatibility issues and correct operation, it will not be possible to set short names for variables, and only Latin characters. These restrictions will not affect already created projects.

• Creating new variables will be simplified and it will be possible to create them directly in modal windows, and not only in parameters as it was before

• For macOS, there is no longer a requirement to confirm the first launch in the provisioning system.

• In the Android version, problems with adding mp3 files to the release archive have been fixed.

In this version we have updated all plugins to adapt them to the latest engine and web browser updates. We also fixed problems with multiple plugins running at the same time, sometimes they could interfere with each other.

Added dialogue reading function. When you activate the “Speech” plugin, a new “Speech Synthesis” section will appear in the settings of the text panel, dialogue and buttons, in which you can specify the voice and text to be read. You can specify that text reading should start when a dialog is launched or when a button is clicked.

Aspect ratio (plugin) - allows you to scale the size of the game screen while maintaining proportions. To do this, you need to specify the initial screen size in the project settings.

The animation for sprite movement functions have been updated so that the animation does not conflict with other engine functions, such as fast skip of dialogues.

A new element for randomly selecting the next block has appeared. Previously, this could only be done using JavaScript, but recently this feature has become very popular, so a graphical tool for settings of randomization has been added.

The video playback system has been updated and errors in video positioning in the scene have been fixed.

Added support for the Electron framework, both the engine itself and exported projects.
