June 29th Update! - 🏗️ Trigger Platforms and Effect Zones

Howdy Slingbladers, I've got some new toys for you to get creative with!

🧊 Ice Physics Change

  • When stuck into a ice wall, you now start to slowly slide down after a short delay. Yikes!

⚙️ Level Config additions

  • Config panel now allows you to set level's gravity, sling power, and unlimited slings

🏗️ Trigger Platforms

  • Moving platforms now have 4 trigger modes configurable in the Properties panel:
    • Always On (default) - original back-n-forth
    • Move While Touched - platform moves only while you're riding it (or sword stuck in it)
    • Touch-to-Cycle - any touch triggers a full back-and-forth path
    • Touch Half-Cycle - first touch goes one way, second touch returns
  • Plus a speed acceleration slider for smooth ramp-up instead of instant snap (*set to a lower number for more smoothing)

💨 Effect Zones

  • New palette tab with 7 rectangular area effects:
    • No Sling - can't sling while inside
    • Gravity - multiplier from -1 (reverse gravity!) to 3× (extra heavy!)
    • Wind - apply a constant force in any of 8 directions
    • Instakill - instant death on contact
    • Infinite Slings - unlimited slings inside

💪 Plus a ton of other stability fixes

That's all for now, way cooler things are on the way! In the mean time, toss your ideas this way:
