Hey mates! This update is especially exciting for us, as it introduces 2 features that you've been asking for so many weeks!

v0.77 Released!

• New Variable types (beta)! Previously, only the coordinates of map tiles could serve as arguments for Variables. If you read our most recent Dev Diaries, you might remember that this system is an artifact from very early times of development, when we were experimenting with the 'map as a memory unit' concept. This concept is no more, so it only makes sense to allow you to use object types (such as Stones, Sparks, Fire, etc.) as arguments. And this is just the beginning: the plan is to make it possible to use almost anything as arguments in Variables (like counters, for example), which will add a whole new level of depth to the programming process! But this is a matter of the future, as we need to test everything properly and, of course, hear what you have to say about this iteration of variables!

• Improved text input (finally!). We love our Defold engine for its flexibility, but some features are not provided out of the box. One of them is text input, with an insertion point and the ability to select the whole text, and instantly delete it. It took us some time to come up with a workaround solution, and it's finally here! You can select the whole text by double clicking it, enjoy accelerated input (press and hold a key to see it at work) and the insertion point! You can even use 'Backspace' and 'Delete' buttons as usual (what a time to be alive!) We hope that renaming your Functions, Craftomate and custom robot groups will become much easier from now on!
• Last but not least: some bug fixes have happened here and there, as they always do
