New Features
Added a setting in the options to disable/enable the center dot.
Proper multi-monitor support.
Game can now enter full-screen on monitors other than the main display.
Game can now restore its window position between launches across monitors other than the main display.
Added option in the controls menu to reset to the default controls.
Added a setting in the options to switch to old legacy graphics.
Added a confirmation prompt when exiting to main menu from the play screen.
Added very experimental multiplayer support.
Must be enabled by editing the SAVES/options.cfg file and setting the value of DEBUG to 1.
Once enabled, a MULTIPLAYER option will be available on the main menu.
Once you enter the MULTIPLAYER screen, you can enter an IP address and port to connect to.
The server software can be ran via command-line with the Multris_Dedicated_Server program found within the game files. A port to open the server on can be given via a command-line argument, otherwise the server will open on a random available port.
Currently, only the "play area" is shared between players. Players cannot see each others current piece, score, or anything else.
There are many known bugs, such as not being able to leave the multiplayer mode without restarting the game, the server crashing if a player disconnects, the client often crashing when trying to connect to incorrect IP/Port combinations, the opponents play area not updating correctly when they clear a line, and a lot more.
Gameplay Changes
Lowered the rate at which the number of line clears required to level up increases from 5 to 3.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a crash when a score loaded from the save files had a non-numeric value.
Now, score will be reset to 0 if loaded value is non-numeric.
Fixed a bug causing pieces to phase downward into adjacent walls/blocks for a single frame when falling.
