  				  					            In the wise words of our designer/developer Tiga Wu: "Games are awesome, making games is even more awesome. I love making games, making games makes me happy, being happy makes me make better games, i hope everyone can be happy and enjoy making games!". If you want to be happy and enjoy making games, Kaboom.JS is the tool for you. With a flexible component system, easy behavior assignment, debug tools, and an integrated environment, Kaboom.JS makes game development fun and easy. Checkout our blog post where we discuss more about Kaboom.JS and how you can get started!

  				  					             	Graphic repls are an easy way you can create anything, anywhere in the world. The only problem is that anyone can see the graphics that you're seeing. With prying eyes everywhere these days, we couldn't accept that. From now on, all graphic connections are 100% secure, giving you the privacy you deserve. If you're interested in how this works or if you're a noVNC user, checkout our blog post.

  				  					             	You can now play any sound on Replit. Your Pygame and Love2D games can have Vivalidi's Four Seasons or Holst's The Planets creating this epic orchestra full of emotion and turmoil, perfectly suited for the flappy bird clone you're making. To enable this feature, just click on the environment variable tab (the padlock), add a variable named VNC_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_AUDIO and set that to one. For more information on how it works and the possibilities, check out our blog post.
