Hello everyone !

Today after 2 months from releasing PRE_03 I have released PRE_04 with a lot of the very requested changes !

And here comes the list:

Better code editor syntax highlighter by lhs_azevedo:

Super thanks for him :)

Code selection and copy & paste functionality:

This has been requested very much by a lot of people, and here it's now.

Editors shortcuts:

Now you can run, save and reload the game by pressing ctrl-r, ctrl-s, ctrl-l.

Sprite editor selection size slider & new layout:

I didn't feel the huge need for it until I started using it :P

New paint program:

This paint program is a 'standalone' editor, in order to use it with your game spritesheet you have to do:

save mygamesheet --sheet
paint mygamesheet
load mygamesheet

Joysticks Support:

LIKO-12 got joysticks support, with an internal program to remap the joystick buttons (type 'joymap'), and the support for unlimited number of joysticks :3

Any game that uses btn() and btnp() functions will automatically get the joystick controls.

circle() and ellipse() segments number argument:

The circle() and the ellipse() functions now support passing a number of segment for them to use, check the official documentation site.

New 'install_games' command:

There's now a new command to install a set of game shipped with LIKO-12, and in each new release I may add any game made by the community, so share us your work !

Here's some gifs for the current set of games:
