update: webgl renderer preview

new bongle update!

• preview of the webgl renderer! older mobiles and laptops/desktops should be supported. this is still WIP, so expect some instability and please report any bugs you find. devices that support webgpu will default to the already existing webgpu renderer.

editor

• opening the game client while editing an avatar now shows previews of the avatar you are editing in game, so you can more easily check your work and see how your avatar looks in motion / in game
• the avatar editor now yells at you and shows you min/max size boxes if your avatar is too big or too small
• fix: weird scrolling in the editor where both the inventory and the block selector would scroll at the same time

engine

• blockPreset apis now take more properties that were missing, like friction, particles, and other things previously only in the lower-level block() api
• the blockPreset apis changed to take two arguments instead of three. this is a breaking change, you will need to update custom blocks for new versions (it doesn't break existing live builds)
• updated mathcat. lots more math apis for color, easing, damping, and more! usage is largely the same.

kit

• added a light blue wool block

website

• project descriptions! give your game/project a description, and it will show on hovering your game tile. supports a markdown and html subset so you can make it pretty!
• reworked the feed to understand #game, #demo, and #sketch tags
  • use #game if you are ready to stand behind your project as a fully fledged game!
  • use #demo if you want to share something early, and want to welcome early feedback in comments!
  • use #sketch if you want to share something that's not a game, but could be anything fun or silly. maybe a build. maybe a silly mechanic. whatever.
• fixed avatar cards to actually show who made them, not always just "bongle . avatar name"

discord

• when an avatar or project is put up for review, a public link is sent into the in-review channel that others can peek at! the discord bot will also send messages in thread for approval or feedback.
