Testing of New Update
A new update is available for testing on the beta branch called "nextupdatetesting".
[h2] Framework Update [/h2]
- Updated to Monogame 3.8.3
Note: In reality this did nothing for the game. Other companies would refer to this as "Improving The Stability of the game".
[h2] Custom Puzzles[/h2]
- The custom puzzle slots increased from 4 to 10
- Each Custom Puzzle has a "Change Image" button under the preview image that allows loading in a new image.
[h2] Main Menu[/h2]
- The Puzzle Preview and Puzzle Page selectors will now have a partial tint when the mouse is hovering on the image or icon. This will hopefully make it clearer that you can click on the Puzzle Previews or Page Selectors.
[h2] Option Menu [/h2]
- Option menu has been split into three tabs (Puzzle Options, Backgrounds, Toggles/Hotkeys)
- Some UI elements increased in size since additional space is available now.
- Background section now has a green box around the selected background.
- Adding "Language" to settings file. Currently "English" and "German" are offered.
- The options already included a preview image divided into the number of pieces you selected under Puzzle Size. The preview image was always locked to show Puzzle #1 (Seagull Puzzle). It now shows whatever puzzle you had selected last.
[h2]Font Changes [/h2]
- Monogame framework has not fixed font kernels. (Spacing in fonts)
- Moved font rendering to FontStashSharp.MonoGame library to fix the spacing between words.
[h2] Steam Cloud [/h2]
- The Settings file is now syncing to Steam Cloud.
- The Settings file is now located in the SavesDir folder.
- Only the Settings file in this folder will sync to Steam Cloud. Adding other files into this folder will do nothing.
- A new settings file will be generated when first opening this update. This update will not attempt to migrate or convert the old data.
- The game will recreate the default setting file if you somehow delete it or corrupt it.
- Individual "in progress" puzzle saves are currently not in Steam Cloud.
[h3]For Reference:[/h3]
The Settings file includes the following information:
-Last Puzzle Size used
-Last Puzzle Mode used
-Do you want the game full screen?
-Do you want the sound on?
- What resolution was the game last in?
- What background did you pick?
- If you selected a custom BG color...what was it?
- What default language do you want displayed?
[h2]Hotkeys[/h2]
- Keyboard H key will turn on "Highlight Edges"
- Keyboard V key will turn on "View Image"
- Hot Keys are now listed in the Options menu.
For reference these hotkeys were already in the game:
- [Old Hotkey] Keyboard F11 key will toggle "Full Screen"
- [Old Hotkey] Keyboard ESC will open exit menu
- [Old Hotkey] Right Mouse click will increment Scroll Box mode slider
- [Old Hotkey] Left/Right Keyboard will move the Scroll Box mode slider
