Changes in version 0.7.13:

Input buffering for Input Up and Input Fire: Save input for some frames. Configure it in input screen.
New condition Grounded that allows Coyote time or edge tolerance.
Old Grounded and Not Grounded triggers are not invalid but deprecated.
New action trigger Enable SFX that allows to turn on/off the sound effects in the game.
New action trigger Set NTSC to change display to PAL or NTSC.
In RP Editor the gap between the game display and the editor display has been reduced.
FIX: When changing the level the tab displayed could be wrong.
FIX: Sprite background was not cleaned properly when loadgin a new project.
FIX: For games without tiles, the palette was wrong.
FIX: HUD elements could have some flickering when values changed too fast.

Joystick in Atari-VCS style: Hyperkin Trooper
The "Trooper" produced by Hyperkin is a joystick looking like the joystick of the Atari VCS, compatible to Atari and Commodore, providing a fire button and a 3 metre cable. The device can be ordered from different shops, e.g. from Amazon and ebay.

The "Trooper" is a reworked edition of the joystick included in the package of the Retron 77 console which earned criticism (German) for its lack of durability. First reviews and pictures of the hardware you can find e.g. on Forum64 (German). (cg) (Translation: dr)
