I'm very excited about this release. From the start of Rooms, we've allowed you to add Lua code to things to bring them to life. Coding is excellent because it gives you complete control and near limitless possibilities. But it is not so excellent on mobile, where you have a tiny keyboard and limited screen real estate. With the majority of usage now on mobile, we needed to do something better. So, we created the Actions editor!
The Actions editor uses Lua code under the hood but presents it in an interface that's easy for anyone to understand, regardless of age or language, using emoji to represent actions and a live preview to let you see the effects of changing parameters in real time.
You can sequence actions to occur when a room starts, when you tap things, every n seconds, and/or when a signal is broadcasted (which you can broadcast from other things).
There's plenty more to do, but with this update, it's now easier than ever to create stories in Rooms, something I'm particularly excited about.
Rooms 3.0 is now out on iPhone, iPad and desktop web. I hope you enjoy!
