ZIM 018 is live at https://zimjs.com

The new features are at https://zimjs.com/018.html

And the Updates page at https://zimjs.com/updates.html has descriptions and sample code snips.

The main couple features are integrated ML5 hand tracking that can replace the mouse and touch with fingers for mousemove and pinching for mousedown. There is also

  • a Carousel3D
  • two new hitTests
  • Dat() (for JSON, text, XML, CSV)
  • GLOBALSTYLE
  • a cool tileObj for MotionController movement on tiles
  • Physics puppet() method
  • custom spacings for Tile
  • lineWidth and justify for LabelLetters

and more! Thank you all for helping out with bugs and requests.

We also adjusted the look of the site - still settling in and seeing if we get used to it - might tweak it here and there. Will be doing Bubbling Videos and a few other things over the next week or two. We have an Art Show on Friday and are making 10 Yellow Submarines - so might be a week before Bubbling vids.

Note the end of the Updates for 018 where it says what has been updated and what is still-to-come. For instance, NPM is updated but we still need to do the ZIM Shim zip file, etc.

4 posts were split to a new topic: Drawing with ML5 HandCursor and ZIM Pen

Just adjusted all the examples here https://zimjs.com/018.html so they call the js module rather than our test scripts.

First of all, thank you for these nice innovations. I couldn't figure out how to do it with mousedown for the pen. I tried a few times. I added MotionController for both mousedown and pressmove but I couldn't succeed.

@Ferudun - just moved the discussion of the HandCursor and Pen to new post.
