Control and power - that’s all that I’m after!

This devlog brings new ways to control your experience with Onlinja not only as a user, but also a developer.

Great news all along!

With the latest update in Onlinja, new systems have launched:

1. Settings System: A system where you can tweak your settings and default preferences for when you launch the app (also, replay the tutorial, as the old dedicated tab is now gone).
2. Tab System: More important for developers, but now the development of Onlinja can speed up significantly because of a convenient tab making system.
3. Major Architecture Overhaul: By working on the imports and general structure, the codebase can feel free of 400-lined files that choked the app.
4. New Animations: Although it’s a side effect of that new Tab System, it makes the tab animations feel consistent, and the UX undoubtedly better.
5. Mobile app issues fixed: Even when a dedicated app is not Onlinja’s primary choice for delivery, I will not abandon it as that’s why I picked React Native instead of normal React (this, and animation issues with normal React). So, now the mobile port functions almost exactly as intended, but if you want to have the designed experience, and are a fan of dedicated apps, you can always click “Add to home screen” in your browser!

That sounds great! What about BotLabs?

BotLabs are currently in the works. I am still thinking about how to make the architecture right and the UX smooth, but they’re soon to be implemented, letting users customize bots and make Bot vs Bot matches or have personalized bots to play against.
