April Update

Today's update was a long time coming, and adds some exciting new features while also fixing a bunch of troublesome bugs.

Here's what's new:

New Features
  • When generating a custom puzzle image, there is now a menu that lets you choose from 30 different styles. Choose "General" if you'd rather describe the style yourself, or choose "Classic Style" if you'd like to stick with the style Puzzle Together has been using up until now.
  • You can now generate multiple custom puzzles simultaneously -- no more need to wait for one to complete before starting another.
  • Improved quality of custom generated puzzles.
  • Custom puzzle generation now has better understanding of non-English image descriptions.
  • Added a bunch of new table color options, under 'Settings'.
  • A pop up asks you to confirm before sorting pieces, to help prevent accidental sorting.
  • There is now a 'ping' sound when a chat message is received.
  • Added the option, under 'Settings', to turn off the ability to change the camera angle by right-click dragging the mouse.
  • Under 'Settings', in the menus of actions that can be assigned to mouse buttons, you can now rotate pieces left (counter-clockwise) as well as right (clockwise). So, if you'd like, you can assign one mouse button to rotate in one direction and another button to rotate in the other direction.
  • You can now zoom closer in and further out. Also, the speed of zooming in/out and changing camera angle with the keyboard has been increased.
  • Any player in an open puzzle can place pieces in their final position, so long as at least 90% of the puzzle's connections have been made.
  • On the "Join a Friend's Puzzle" page, there is now a copy button next to the join code, to let you easily copy the code to your clipboard so you can paste it in a message.


Bug Fixes
  • When you change your username or e-mail address under 'Settings', you no longer need to hit enter for the change to take effect.
  • If a puzzle was completed when there was no connection to the server, it never registered as being completed. This has now been fixed, and any affected puzzles should now show up as completed when you enter them.
  • When using ctrl+click to add a piece to the set of selected pieces, it will no longer also cause the piece to rotate.
  • When you "like" (favorite) an AI generated puzzle, it will now appear on the Library page when you select "Favorites" from the Show menu.
  • When you purchase an AI generated puzzle, it will now appear on the Library page when you select "Purchased" from the Show menu.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the game to hang when entering a puzzle, if you had left the previous puzzle while pieces were still selected.
  • A sort can no longer be started if another sort is in progress.
  • Fixed a problem that could cause the puzzle box to permanently disappear.
  • Added logging to help find a problem that prevents some players from being able to make purchases.
