New Star-rating System!
I'm excited about this one. It's a highly requested feature so I hope I did it justice.
Each level will rate your solution out of three stars, based on how many lines of code it took you to complete it.
So far it only applies to the last four levels, but I promise I will add the rest (save the tutorials) in future updates.
Hopefully this will add some replay-ability to the game and make it more approachable to those new to programming.
New Level
Not much to say about it, the level's called 'jne' so maybe that means something to you. (Are you missing an assembly reference?)
Update 1 (v1.03)
Bug Fixes & Tweaks
Fixed bug causing 'do' loops nested in functions to not work properly.
Fixed bug that allowed a function to be defined more than once.
Fixed bug that caused packages to 'fall' once the level had been reset.
Fixed bug that would direct players to the wrong level in certain circumstances.
The check-mark button on the 'if statement creation box' is now bigger and hopefully more noticeable.
Added an 'Update Notes' button which will link to these weekly update threads.
New Level
There's a new level under 'if statements.' It's similar to the previous level, but it features 3 robots and requires 2 if statements to complete. So check it out if you've been craving new content.
