the same applies to visible blocker tiles - scopes ´´unlongloops´´, ´´unlongloop´´, ´´unlongtrack´´, ´´unlongorchard´´ added (these result in separate yet well-segmented tracks) ^^ [RB Loop], [RGB Loop]^^ - scopes can now be prefiltered in all rules, by e.g.´´rule.placement´´ (affecting scopes: ´´buds´´, ´´numberedbuds´´) - added a ´´input.linemovemented´´ property for movement genres, with ´´input.linemovementedfruits´´ as a way to restrict movement to certain fruits; consequently removed the ´´figure-stepped´´ parameter Refactoring: - rules: - moved ´´pics´´ and ´´descriptions´´ away from rules, into the ´´explanations´´ object (all genres) - property ´´rule.order´´ removed - extracted some rules into templates for reuse across genres and repurposing as live variant modifiers - drawing functions, for better testing and exposing data for visual unit tests - numeric genres, by adding the ´´numbers´´ property to replace function calls from within the genre file April 2023 #=#=#=#=#=#=# Collaborations: New Genres ^^[RB Loop], [Bouba Kiki Loop], [X_Sums], [Hit Points]^^ - API Changes - puzzle encoding in all numeric genres was standardised for consistency across genres, for several reasons: - facilitate development of automatic solvers, reducing the size of the"symbol dictionary" - accelerate genre porting, for the same reason - allow future expansions with larger and larger numbers, if ever needed - allow remixing of numeric genres in the upcoming Kudamono Designer - provide a means for multi-letter symbol encoding, if ever needed All changes are backward-compatible - no puzzles will be affected. - UI Changes - symbols in play mode can be coerced to stay within the board during input, even if positions outside are available in edit mode - via via the ´´geometry.exsuprasymboled´´ property (@XSheep) - grid editing buttons updated for more consistency :shrink-right: and now adapted to the diamond grid (@Menderbug) - tool selection menu: - auto-tool mode (previous behaviour) became an option, albeit the default one: - the cursor now changes in real-time to reflect the predicted action - the auto-button icon (composed of the first two actions) does not appear - when there is a conflict preventing tool inference (e.g. ^^[dream-sequence]^^) - when no more than one action is possible (e.g. ^^[bonsai]^^) - symbol and line selection buttons now appear, on a genre-by-genre basis - likewise, marker and sketch buttons appear, when in aux mode: - alphabet aux panel now appears in some genres (@fff) ^^[tricklayer]^^ - an auto marks button (:auto-mode:) appears when appropriate - numeric candidates aux marks ^^[X-sums]^^ - keyboard shortcuts to select particular aux marks - a small prompt to load a puzzlestring from clipboard now appears when pressing [[ctrl v]] - the cursor is also drawn on touch devices: - without "hover predictions" - this forces a refresh of drawing targets, thus indirectly solving an "out-of-sync" bug (@Yuyuki) - hover predictions became more focused (@Menderbug): - only the main action is predicted (dropping the alternate action) - only one tool at the time (rather than all together at once) - lines display the predicted segment alongside the (more discrete) starting point - a lingering segment is no longer drawn after undrawing a line up to the very start (@dohz) - click vs drag disambiguation via the new ´´mode.clicking´´ property - Page Changes - all text that is indirectly generated, rather than manually written, now displays with a different, **monospaced**, font, because: - it's nicer for readers to know when they are reading generated vs written text (even when generated text is based on manual data) - generated text tends to accumulate inaccuracies as new or more complex situations arise. - added aux mark keyboard shortcut tables - variant genre pages: - More complete authorship snippets under the rules text (@Dohz) - Page metadata for link previews no longer shows genre/variant authorship in the top title, because it was in many cases inaccurate. Instead it uses //Player & Editor// (@Dohz) - Rules text now: - displays a pass(:pass:)/fail(:fail:) icon, if appropriate, where available - can be copied to clipboard, via a button below, for quoting on external sites (@XSheep) - Other fixes - shading a number no longer necessarily hides it underneath (@Menderbug) - overlapping number and symbols now insertable together for more convenience ^^[dream-sequence], [flashlights-crossing]^^ Internal: - geometry: - new property ´´geometry.exmarked´´ specifies whether marks are allowed outside the board (defaults to false), by analogy with ´´geometry.exsymboled´´ property - new property ´´geometry.wholelinemesh´´ used instead of ´´geometry.linemesh´´ when the ´´geometry.linedivided´´ property creates a smaller divided mesh, not always desired - **visual** unit tests added to the test suite - ´´buds´´ (via the ´´appearance´´ property) - ´´lands´´ (via the ´´kappearance´´ property - main difference is that lands can be drawn several times in the same spot) - new scopes: - ´´frukingdom´´, ´´fruterritory´´ (keeps region within fruit specified after ´´:´´ ) - ´´unfrukingdom´´, ´´unfruterritory´´ (outside region without touching the fruit specified after ´´:´´) - ´´:number´´ and ´´:letter´´ scope filters (expanded to the actual numbers or letters present before checking) - individual scopes for a single ´´bud´´ or ´´number´´ - ´´:midpoint´´ scope for segment midpoints (for use with the adjacency rule family) - refactoring: - common line properties moved into templates such as ´´template-line-normal´´, ´´template-palette-orange´´, possibly causing slight uniformisations in the appearance of some genres - all numeric genres may no longer specify their own ´´alphabeto´´ dictionary, relying in a shared dictionary - erase ´´symbol.photoplacement´´ property and all related functions - style properties: - renamed to canonical values in all genres - are nevertheless renamed by default upon initialisation, for robustness - behaviour of ´´opacity´´ and ´´lineOpacity´´, ´´lineOpacitor´´ was fixed, in particular around grid - rule highlighting preserves original order when several errors are applied in succession in the same spot March 2023 #=#=#=#=#=#=# New Genres: ^^ [Zukei], [Shikaku Cut], [Chess Avoidance], [Chess Loop], [Numericlone] ^^ Kudamono Genre Designer: -

geometric properties in serials are initially memorised and re-added (when different from default ones) - UI Changes: - feedback button (:feedback:) within the about menu (:info:) - mobile fixes - opening the keyboard on mobile (or resizing any window) no longer locks the live parameter ui - all UI buttons were raised a little on vertical screens to avoid being covered by mobile browser menus - eraser buttons were consolidated as a single :restart: button, which: - erases solution and aux marks, when in play mode - erases everything, when in edit mode - input lag alleviated (@tluo) - Galleries: - Puzzle pictures are now rendered consistently, scaling down to fit available space (instead of being cropped) - Transcriptions sped up with the new default "batch transcribe" workflow reduces context switching - Live parameters were refined to allow more complex data entry ^^ [Zukei], [Shikaku Cut] ^^ Internal: - rendering and highlighting: - added ´´colour:"from-prebud"´´ property to style each segment colour based on the colour of the fruit it starts on - property ´´render.container´´ no longer needs a pre-dot - property ´´targetoo[layer]´´ memoises current drawing contexts for each canvas, speeding up drawing - scopes: - Negative scopes, via the ´´:!´´ operand, to specify regions not containing a fruit - ´´nets´´, ´´longnets´´, ´´net´´ and ´´longnet´´ scopes consolidated for use in tangram-like genres - ´´numbers´´ and ´´number´´ scopes - major simplification of all numeric genres - geometry: - property ´´geometry.linedivided´´ now explicitly marks when lines must be subdivided ^^ [Parrot Loop], [Flashlights] ^^ - masked symbols are excluded from the tabula by default via property ´´geometry.unmasksymbolmesh´´ - a small encoding problem with non-unit compasses was fixed - removed outdated properties ´´geometry.terriplacement´´ and ´´geometry.terrifruits´´ - scattered refactoring: - ´´Genre´´-->´´genro´´ for genre objects - more symbols are inherited, e.g ´´symbol-model´´ template for pipes, variety, etc... - removed ´´RD´´ property that was used to disable rules selectively Internal/Global: - expanded the undo module to allow infinite parallel undo/redo/restart stacks - transparent event handling using ´´false´´ as return value to signal that the default action should not be prevented Collaborations: -
