Bots Are Stupid v1.1


Yoo bot friends!

Finally found the time to give this game some more love! I would have preferred to release this patch much earlier, but didn't have the time due to multiple other projects and assignments for University. 

So without further ado:

Introducing the Bots Are Stupid 1.1 Update: 

* 6 new levels, a simplified tutorial and lots of quality of life improvements *

List of changes:

- 6 New Levels: 2 Basic, 1 Easy, 1 Medium, 1 Hard, 1 Extreme
- Improved Tutorial: Spread the old tutorial over more levels to teach scripting step by step
- Added the option to replay the tutorial of a level in the help window
- Added Resizable Window
- Added global averages for time and linecount to the success screen at the end of a level
- Added an ingame-display for the Current Time of the Script or the Time elapsed since the last Command
- Added a button to step forward a single frame (update) when the execution is paused
- Added compact builds for windows/linux, which use .NET Core 3.1 and are reduced to a single executable file
- Added a more elegant .app build for macOS
- Added option to browse multiple pages in the highscore window (buggy -> DevTools only)
- New Command: 'wait [frames]f' to wait for a certain amount of updates/frames, which can be more precise than a wait time
- New Command: 'hook down left/right' to angle the hook downwards
- New Command: '-tickrate [rate]' to change the amount of updates/frames per second (higher values allow for more precise controls)
- Changed Commands: 'start left/right' to 'move left/right', old ones still supported
- Changed Commands: 'stop left/right' to 'stop', old ones still supported
- Changed default tickrate from 128 to 200
- Replaced the old with the new commands in all the scripts in the database and added '-tickrate 128' to the beginning of old scripts 
- Changed directory structure to store userdata and custom levels in the global ApplicationData folder
- Prevent the script from being started before the bot is grounded
- Increased the movespeed of energyorbs when picked up and moving towards the portal (+60% speed)
- Fixed crashes when uploading/downloading levels
- Fixed a small desync between hook appearence and the actual extension length
- Fixed bots instantly exploding and respawning on every frame when the spawnpoint is inside of a spike, which would crash the game
- Fixed broken LevelEditor scaling tool, now tracks accurately to mouse position
- Disabled V-Sync
- Cleaned up game folder

Re-Verification

The bugfixes in this update caused minor changes in the way the physics/mechanics behave. 
This means that all scripts in the highscore database had to be re-verified. 
Unfortunately, 251 scripts were lost in the process (RIP), due to them no longer being successful.
The completion times of 242 scripts were updated as well. 

Mentions

Big thanks to all the feedback by: /u/Leodip, MineGame159, Shynif, /u/reckter
Special shoutout to reckter, Barbitos and NRO for mostly dominating the leaderboards soon after release.

Hope you'll enjoy & thanks for playing!

Cheers,
Lele
