This Week in Fyrox #16

Fyrox is an open-source (opens new window) Rust game engine with lots of out-of-box game-ready features and a full-featured editor. Changes of this week were mostly focuses on UI style and usability improvements.

# Editor Restyling

The editor now has more cleaner and modern user interface:

The old version for comparison:

The new style does not have radical differences with the previous one - it just improves existing style, to make it a bit more attractive.

# Ability to Search Assets

Asset browser is now able to search assets by name:

search

# NumericUpDown Widget

Values of NumericUpDown widget can now be changed by mouse dragging:

spinner

# Book Improvements

The book is now have two new sections - Audio Bus (opens new window) and HRTF (opens new window).

# Other

Imported animations are now enabled by default, previously they were imported as disabled which could lead to confusions. UI's DrawingContext is now able to draw arcs and rounded rectangles.

The engine now uses latest winit and glutin crates, which is a first step towards Android support. Experimental Android support should be ready at the next week.
