Update Log
main news 4 this upd8 is that worm race should b fully mobile furiendly meow!! it sorta was before but its more intentional now
other than that just some lil things around the site!
images in the graphix galleries and the update page can b clicked 2 open full view! it also has keyboard controls!! its boring basic functionality but it n33ded doing :33c
celebr8 revival of worm race with buttons from the new share section!! theres a general race button plus one 4 each worm that links direct 2 their purrofile
after a whole w33k of downtime, the worms rise again!! stats reset one last time but ill try 2 back them up more often going furward
basically i was running dozens of database read/write requests per user per minute, which is bad. had 2 rewrite the whole php code and half the javascript from scratch (again) and then navig8 a whole new host service but the fresh code is way more efficient!! u just gotta refresh the page 4 health updates if u have had the worm details scr33n sitting up for a while, no big deal. but pls dont spam refresh the page lol, it also upd8s when u f33d a worm.
the mew system has built in overload limits so it will block ppl from voting 4 a bit if we manage 2 exc33d database limits, but i think we should b ok!! load times on the new host server r a bit slower but the limits r way higher so its worth it imo
there's also a home navig8ion button and the game should b at least mostly mobile furiendly now!! plus i fixed a purroblem with the keyboard navigation system so u can go thru the item choices w the tab keylike the other buttons
now i can get back 2 the actual planned updates, like more art stuff!! finalized the item icons 4 a start :33
there's also some fancy new UI! propurr health bar, more infurmative health effects section, and the race looks a lil bit nicer
minor balance edits 2 the worm race!
worm race health system is up, sabotage is now on the table B33
other minor worm updates:
up next on the worm agenda, visual updates and worm share!! i want 2 make buttons so ppl can share the race or a specific worm on their page. the ability 2 link 2 a worm has already b33n added (here's one) altho it doesn't display health correctly, gotta fix that
congratulations 2 this w33k's
king worm!!!! 41/58 clicks, not even close
mostly done adding keyboard controls (arrows/tab/escape), profile basics r in, fresh unique worm art 4 everyone except blue (im sorry), and the first half of a purrently non-functional health system!! they're gonna take penalties 4 low health but i have 2 put in the UI 4 that first :'33
redid most of the code from scratch with the stuff i learned from the first version, so the scores had 2 b reset. i think i got the structures in place correctly so i wont have 2 do another full reset until i actually want 2 tho!! might have them run on a monthly tournament or something, with the option 2 view past wins
theres a few bugs im aware of rn. the race results dont always load right and i havent figured out why yet. its also currently pawssible 2 put their stats in the negatives, which is less a bug and more a basic thing i did not put in yet lol. gonna patch those when i have time
ALSO VERY MUCH LOOKING 4 F33DBACK!! pls comment if u have any worm thoughts
fresh new worm pawpularity contest!!
extremely simple 4 now bc even with a very helpful 2torial it took me a whole evening of banging my brain on the keyboard 2 start understanding sql databases, but it works!!
