<![CDATA[PTR Changelog 2017-02-22]]>This post describes changes on the Public Test Realm. Estimated launch date is February 27.

  • You can now create a RoomVisual object using the constructor without a roomName parameter and post visuals to all rooms simultaneously:

    new RoomVisual().circle(30,30, {fill: 'red'});
new RoomVisual('W1N1').rect(10,10,40,40);

    This code will display both the circle and the rectangle in the room W1N1, and only the circle in any another room.

I love it when we get a small change with sizable benefits to it. 🙂

Do visuals posted to all rooms that way only incur a single instance of the serialization cost?

Yes, that’s the whole point.
