📰 Release Change Log#

🌟 New Features#

• Actions have four new hooks beforeRun, afterRun, beforeRevert and afterRevert, however this are mostly for internal use and users should use the willProceed, didProceed and willRollback, didRollback ones
• Monogatari now exports the random-js library to perform random numbers related functionalities
• New monogatari.random (min, max) function was added that returns a cryptographyc random number
• Added files required for Apple’s app notarization process so the electron version of a game gets notarized automatically
• New timer-display component was added to enable timed actions
• Choices now allow a Timer property, the following example will randomly pick a choice if none was picked in 5 seconds:

{
    'Choice': {
        'Dialog': 'y Have you already read some documentation?',
        'Timer': {
	    // Time in milliseconds 
            time: 5000,
            // The function to run when the time is over
            callback: () => {
		// Get all choices being shown and that are not disabled
                const choices = monogatari.element ().find ('[data-choice]:not([disabled])');
                
                // Pick one of those options randomly
                const random = choices.get (monogatari.random (0, choices.length - 1));
                
                // Fake a click on it
                random.click ();
                
		// Promise friendly!
                return Promise.resolve ();
            }
        },
        'Yes': {
            'Text': 'Yes',
            'Do': 'jump Yes'
        },
        'No': {
            'Text': 'No',
            'Do': 'jump No'
        }
    }
}

Want to change the color of the timer-display? That’s simple!

	background: '<some CSS Color>';
}

🐛 Bug Fixes#

• Main menu music would stop playing if entering any other menu
• Position classes (left, right, center) where being overridden and the images would always be shown centered
• In some cases the wrong character would be shown when rolling back a show character statement
• Under some conditions (mainly on node), electron-only functions could be triggered and cause an error
• When rolling back to the beginning of a label, the game could enter an invalid state where the current step was a negative number
• Using url() or any gradient() CSS properties in the show background or show scene statements would not work
• Reversible functions would still require the user to click to advance even if the function returned true

📦 Misc#

• The npm package has been updated to this latest version
• Cypress is now being used to perform e2e testing
• Conditionals implementation has been changed and should be more reliable when rolling back
• Choices implementation was simplified

How To Upgrade#

If you were already using a previous release from v2.x.x, then upgrading is as simple as replacing the files in your engine directory with the new ones.
