ZIM 018 - Thoughts?

We are starting work on ZIM 018.

The ML5 library gives us better cam control. So we are thinking of redoing the ZIM Cam - CamMotion and CamCursor and possibly providing an option where we pass the CamCursor(s) into CreateJS like we do with TextureActive but with pinch as a mousedown. One difference is that we sometimes want both cam motion and traditional mouse/press so it will be a little different on the code side.

We also have a cool update to Physics planned where the position of any object can provide a "mousejoint" so somewhat of a misnomer. That would allow you to animate objects with ZIM and have them act like you are dragging a physics object.

We also have done about 100 patches to ZIM 017.

So... we are considering making all this happen in a next version of ZIM, ZIM 018. Probably, as time goes on, there will be fewer major updates. And perhaps we should advance, while we have a chance ;-). It has been about 5 months... okay - let's do it!

If you have any requests (FOR ZIM - LESS SO FOR THE SITE) then you can DM us or add things to Requests.
