Scroll with it

No one knows better movement than our Ninja friends

I decided to abolish the use of scrollbars in Lasagna, too much hassle. Instead, if the user holds the M key, the cursor becomes a four-pointed shuriken and you can move by coming near a border of the view. It is amazingly intuitive and gliding over the room’s surface just feels very Zen :). To prevent you from getting lost (you have ‘infinite’ positive room space), you can return to the origin of the room by pressing the O key.

Lasagna learns the mystical arts of ninjitsu…

Layers

Tile layer development is also steadily moving on. Tile layers can now be interchanged with little arrow buttons to swap either up or down. (similar to Paint.NET).

Another small but nifty element that has been added is that when a layer contains tiles, its title will be printed italic bold. This way you can easily see if a layer is still free for use/movement.

A bit more detail

Sanity warning ! Pun approaching!

Yes… indeed a silly webcomic from yours truly.

That blog title makes me want to compliment and insult you at the same time.

You gotta scroll with it

You gotta take your time

You gotta glide how you glide

The scrollbars are not your guide

'Cause the shuriken is so great
