GDevelop 5 Beta 82 Released

GDevelop 5 beta 82 was just released.  GDevelop is a completely open source game engine with a very beginner friendly visual programming language and a complete set of tools for creating 2D games.  A new tool addition this release is integration of a Yarn dialog editor enabling your game to support complex and branching dialogs.

Details on new features from the release notes:

• The Yarn Dialogue editor is now embedded in GDevelop (thanks @blurymind!). Yarn is a powerful editor allowing to create advanced and dynamic dialogues with multiple choices.
  
  • When choosing a dialogue to load using the Dialogue Tree actions, you can edit or create a json file containing a dialogue in Yarn format.
    
    
  • Read the help page about dialogue trees to learn more about how to use them.
    
    
  • See the example “Dialogue Tree with Yarn” to see how to use dialogue actions. You can also try the example online.
    
  
  
• Improved Shape Painter object with new shapes and advanced features (thanks @Bouh!).
  
  • Add ellipse, rounded rectangle and star to Shape Painter
    
    
  • Add support for other advanced shapes (arc, bezier curves), and shapes composed of multiple shapes.
    
  
  
• Various new smaller features:
  
  • Add condition to check for WebGL support (thanks @Wend1go!)
