Release Notes
DrawSplatTM v3.1.18
DrawSplatTM v3.1.18 refreshes the classroom-facing tools changed after the v3.1.17 audit release: Typing Games, Passage Coach, Markdown Studio, Tools and Widgets cards, and the SplatWorksTM hub page.
Classroom Tools
Typing, writing, cards, and SplatWorks
The release keeps the modular self-host package model and updates the surfaces teachers and students use directly.
Passage Coach
Teachers and students can import CSV, XLSX, JSON, or pasted text, practice localized passages, and continue automatically to the next passage.
Markdown Studio
Markdown Studio now imports HTML files, converts pasted HTML to Markdown, and exports WordPress block code.
Tools and Widgets
Tools and Widgets cards now show preview images, with screenshots replacing repeated generic icons for several cards.
SplatWorksTM
The SplatWorks hub now uses the new hero image, one-line headline, larger app icons, and launch buttons before the Apps section.
Typing Polish
Intermediate and expert typing modes use longer words, Road Rally collision behavior is fairer, and typing-game vehicles and audio were refined.
Navigation
Language switching and page menus were kept visible across the updated DrawSplat tool and game surfaces.
Checksums
The release includes SHA256SUMS-v3.1.18.txt for verifying all ZIP downloads.
The package model remains additive: unzip modules into the same web root and keep folder names unchanged. No installer or server-side linking step is required.
Highlights
What changed
Custom Typing Practice
Passage Coach accepts teacher-created or student-provided material and tracks continued typing performance across passages.
Localized Passages
Passage Coach now swaps passage content with the active language instead of leaving the practice screen in English.
Import and Export
Markdown Studio supports HTML import/paste workflows and WordPress block-code output for classroom publishing.
Visual Browsing
Tools, Widgets, and Games pages are easier to scan because cards now show the actual app or game look alongside titles and descriptions.
Hero Refresh
The SplatWorks hub now leads with a compact classroom-office-suite hero image and launch buttons above the Apps section.
