Version 1.0.1 Released
Okay. So, I finally fixed that mysterious old bug where dying near the end of a level can put you in a different land. Frankly, I failed to fix it in v1 partly because I forgot to put it on my todo list; and partly because it was rare. Anyways... it kept bugging me, so I kept thinking about it. I decided that if it really exists on my end (and not some YoYo thing) it could only be in this one part of code. Thus, I sat down and stared at that section of code for about an hour, running it through in my head. I eventually noticed that it was telling me that if I destroy the bridge before the next level comes on screen, that it would then save the wrong state in case of level restart. D'oh! So, I tested that case and, sure enough, that is what it was doing. Curiously, when I first wrote this part of the code, this wasn't an issue because I was generating level blocks early back then. It was in a later re-engineering of how to most efficiently handle the terrain generation that I broke it.
Then, from there, tangent to this, I also realized that I had left something else undone in my haste to add the feature to destroy both jets on a simultaneous collision. That is, that a simul bridge hit could advance you two levels. So, I fixed that as well.
In other words, 1.0.0 was an embarrassing v1 release like a self-inflicted swirly. This rectifies that and is the last of the bugs that I'm aware of.
Fixed
- Destroying the bridge before the next level rolls on screen no longer puts you in a different land if you die on that or the next level.
- A simultaneous hit on the bridge (by two missiles or by two planes) no longer advances the bridge counter by 2 instead of 1.
