September was another incredible month in the Thunk Tank - just take a look at our [Insta](https://www.instagram.com/thunkable/) to see what we get up to when we’re not making cross-platform app development more accessible than ever! ### 🔖 Release Notes This is one of our biggest releases ever so take a look at our [release notes](https://docs.thunkable.com/release-notes#sep-12-2019) for a more detailed description of everything that’s included in this release. ### 🤖 Thunkable Live for Android You’ll need v. 101 of the Live Companion app, head over to the [Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunkable.live) to make sure you’re up-to-date. Also, please consider leaving us ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if you like our Android app! ### 🍎 Thunkable Live for iOS The most recent version is in the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thunkable-live/id1223262700) now. While there are some [known issues](http://community.thunkable.com/t/ios-13-golden-master-crash/233151/21) with iOS 13 on certain devices, we’re working hard to get a fix out for everyone. ### 🚀 Date Input The new [Date Input](https://docs.thunkable.com/date-input) (formerly known as a “date picker”) shows an Android or iOS date input to your users and then lets you use this data in your apps. ![assets_-LAn5scXl2uqUJUOqkJo_-LnTo13qf4HKd1AV6bl9_-LnTo9AJqy55zEn2QNWQ_Thunkable%20Docs%20Exhibits%20(37)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/1/a18a4da3256d524b056982417cd562c7b6640897.png) ### 🚀 Time Input The [Time Input](https://docs.thunkable.com/time-input) component, which some of you might know as a “time picker”, allows you to display a native time input component to your users and to use this input in your blocks. ![assets_-LAn5scXl2uqUJUOqkJo_-LnTo13qf4HKd1AV6bl9_-LnToCYZAQWY7dgHzB0y_Thunkable%20Docs%20Exhibits%20(38)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/2/b254f96e4748d23be72251a3319915e12b480326.png) ### 🚀 PDF Reader One of our most requested components is the [PDF Reader](https://docs.thunkable.com/pdf-reader) which allows you to read local PDF files directly in your app, without the need for a third-party reader. The PDF Reader also supports pinch to zoom gestures. ![assets_-LAn5scXl2uqUJUOqkJo_-Lo2taJsrjRONljGETF8_-Lo6_5fE2ZPBYP4AlZQ2_Thunkable%20Docs%20Exhibits%20(40)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/a/3aee64e8ee4cda13790878aa7d1613683af5ebc2.png) ### 🚀 Canvas Since Thunkable ✕ first launched you’ve been asking for a [canvas](https://docs.thunkable.com/canvas) to build your own games with. The canvas comes with its own physics engine so creating engaging, 2D games for mobile devices is now just a click away. When you add the Canvas component to your project, you will see a brand new **Canvas Tab** appear, between the Design tab and the Blocks tab. This tab is used when working with the components that are displayed _on_ the canvas. ![canvas_tab](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/5/6584bf22da6dc81a2dcceb136954397cd4c695ab.png) In addition to creating a new tab in your project, adding a canvas component will also create 6 new blocks drawers in your blocks tab. The Events, Motion, Looks, Direction, Sensing and Add & Remove drawers are highlighted below. ![canvas_blocks](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/1/219393dc6c23d5c19c77be5185e05216f08ccbce.png) ### 🚀 Sprites It’s now easier than ever to create “classes” of allies or enemies in your app with the newly released [Sprites](https://docs.thunkable.com/sprites) component. Use blocks to spawn or destroy sprites, or simply drag and drop as many custom characters as you want into your canvas. ![44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/c/ec86c5d688e727d48cc38c6c6399a5ff89b2c705.png) ### 🐛 Scrollable Property There was a small bug with the “scrollable” property of the Screen component that should now be fixed. ### 🛠 Import Keystore To reduce the friction involved in migrating from Classic to Thunkable X we’ve added a new section to project properties which allows you to [import keystore files](https://docs.thunkable.com/publish-to-play-store-android#exporting-importing-a-keystore-from-thunkable-classic). If you’re updating an app on Google Play we have a full explainer in our docs. ![22%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/9/99f54443ed510dab910fce96b0fe9bed841f31aa.png) ## Sample Games To get you started with the new Canvas and Gaming components here are 3 games for you to copy and remix for yourselves: ![games](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/b/abfdecde2947a43f85354ac47d58b93437c621c0.png) 1️⃣ [Download and remix the Maze game](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/5d729d6c6026a1c0e3f6bb71) 2️⃣ [Download and remix Pong](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/5d71dd5c6026a1717df6bb38) 3️⃣ [Download and remix Flappybird](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/5d71e5936026a18960f6bb5a) ---

Even now, I can’t get the screen scrolling properly 😕 * * * But, I trick the Platform to do 😄 - - I take a column, set it’s width to **`100%`** & height to : - Set it’s **`scrollable property`** to `true` ✅ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/e/0ee43e1a845823ad1ea15e40f3fa4d38dcd8f6ab.png) - Just make sure, that you set the screen’s **`scrollable property`** to `false` ❌ * * * ### You are good to go! 😉 * * * I hope the developers will try to fix this soon 😄 * * * Thanks! 😊 ---

I hope that soon thunkable x has a stand alone software or alone browser that will run fast for coding with blocks 😄 ---

> [@junjoseph](#): > > ~~soon~~ thunkable x has a stand alone software Yes, It is now only! 🎉 Because none of the builders support **iOS** currently 😄 * * * Also, none of them have such large designing properties 🤩 > [@junjoseph](#): > > run fast for coding with blocks 😄 It is, but when large blocks come, it slows a bit 🙂 Else, It’s the best one 😉 \*\*Thanks! 😊 \*\* ---
