Mini Micro has been updated to 1.2.6!

The update brings a new file dialog, and several fixes and new features. These include support for horizontal scrolling in the code editor, a new hasOrInherits method in /sys/lib/mapUtil, and a printJustified method for BMF fonts.

Screen shot of spriteStretch demo, showing stretched sprite with extended texture mapping (UV coordinates). The fixes include a weird bug that could cause a sprite to appear (at gigantic scale) behind all the other displays, and a frequent warning logged to the console in web builds. The way sounds work on web builds was revamped too, which should fix a problem of sounds (especially background music) sometimes failing to play there. As for the new feature, be sure to check out /sys/demo/spriteStretch, which now demonstrates stretching of the sprite and changing the texture coordinates.

Mini Micro updated to version 1.2.5

Mini Micro's third update for 2025 brings several bug fixes and one big new feature: you can now directly set the texture coordinates for a Sprite!
