Beta v0.7.0-beta.1: score charts
Your beta save carries over. Everything from the v0.6.0 demo update is in this build as well, and the hidden tests now run on Act 2 too. An Act 2 part you saved on the last beta may show FAULT until you fix it, and a level at FAULT sends no score.
Score charts
When you pass a level, a new pass page now comes up with the picture your circuit drew and its scores: area, delay, and cycles where the level counts them. If you say yes to uploading, each score also gets a chart of every player's best on that level, with yours marked on it.
The game asks once, the first time you open this build: "Upload and compare scores?" Nothing is sent unless you say yes. A yes uploads your best scores on each level with a random number, and nothing else. Your circuits, your name and your Steam account are not uploaded. The Privacy notice link under the question has the details. You can change your answer any time in Settings, Online, and switching it off removes your scores from the server.
The charts start empty. There are only a few of us in the beta, so for a while you will see a block for each player rather than bars. The beta's scores are kept apart from the demo's and will be wiped when the charts come to the demo.
If the server can't be reached, nothing changes in the game. The pass page just has no charts.
Also in this build
- 2-15 and 2-16: the visible tests now catch a matrix wire plugged into the wrong member. Before, only the hidden tests did.
- When a hidden test fails, Debug now shows the write that went off the canvas and the cycle it happened on.
- After a run passes, the result shows the first test's picture and not the last one's. On some levels the last test is empty.
- Wires can be bent with Alt-drag, and the game now says so the first time two of your wires cross.
- The text after a level only says what you built.
What I would like to hear
- Whether the question at launch is clear.
- Whether the charts are easy to read with so few players.
