Patch v1.1 Now Available!

v1.1

New Features

PNG Exporting with Transparency

• use the new button to left of 'Import / Export' on the top bar, or press (F10), to take a snapshot of the slimes on screen with a transparent background

• snapshots are saved as PNGs in a new folder 'MEDIA/SCREENSHOTS' in the root game directory

Periodic Boundary

• use the new toggle 'Periodic Boundary' in the settings panel (right-side panel) to turn it on/off

• Addedwhen turned onif slime particles reach the boundaries of the simulation space, it will wrap around to the opposite side rather than choosing a new direction

• added new presets 'Flow' and 'Flow 2' to demonstrate the new periodic boundary feature

Minor Changes and Additions

• pressing (E) will hide all the panels as before, but now also hides the top bar

  • this means users MUST use (Q), (W), or (E) to bring back the panels, the in-game notification is updated to warn people of this

  • this allows users to record (or just watch) the game without having to worry about the panels or the top bar when moving the mouse around

• added new toggle in video mode to mute/unmute audio

• removed 'MENU' text from escape menu button on the top bar, added a tooltip for it instead

• added tooltip on the video playback speed input field in video mode to be more clear of what it is

• lowered max scale of settings panel (right-side panel) so it doesn't go offscreen in video mode

• updated tooltip for 'Dynamic Count Loading' toggle in escape menu to show that a resimulation is required for changes of this setting to apply

  • a '*' will appear next to the 'Dynamic Count Loading' text to indicate that a resimulation is needed

• 'Randomize All' with and without resimulation can now be triggered with the hotkeys (=) and (-) respectively

• decreased controls panel (C) font size a little to fit new hotkeys, this panel will need to be redesigned in the future if any more hotkeys are added

• vertically centred the escape menu better

• altered top bar background so the top left and top right corners aren't rounded

Bug Fixes:

• file name now properly updates when save menu is reopened with a previous preset name

• if exporting code or saving current session, slime count is now properly recorded while 'Dynamic Count Loading' is enabled

  • if 'Dynamic Count Loading' is off, a resimulation is required for the proper slime count to be saved (indicated by '*' in the 'Total Slime Count' indicator on the top bar)

• fixed 'Resimulate All' button not reverting back to proper color when right clicking and left clicking fast

• fixed bug where preset initial formations were not loaded properly if 'Dynamic Count Loading' is on

  • it is recommended to turn 'Dynamic Count Loading' off when using 'Randomize All' with resimulations becuase this will cause a delay every randomization

  • using 'Randomize All' without resimulation will not have the delay

  • 'Dynamic Count Loading' tooltip is updated to inform about this recommendation
