Bots Are Stupid v1.1.1


Beep boop beep!

Little update coming through:

I noticed waaay to late that my server's IP adress was changed and that it was therefore unreachable since early september.

Now I'm happy to finally announce: 

Bots Are Stupid v1.1.1: 

* allowing you to connect to the server again and providing some handy quality of life improvements *

List of changes: 

- Added a new and improved ScoreExplorer, which allows you to check out even more scripts uploaded to the database
- Added an option to watch random scripts for a level, which can be found in the scoreexplorer
- Added a tool window to the TextEditor, which allows you to slow down time and see additional information about the bot (eg. current velocity)
- Added information about the 'say' command to the TextEditor's help window
- Added tooltips to multiple UI elements
- Added 'hook up left/right' commands, which are identical to 'hook left/right'
- Fixed a bug where you could 'store' a walljump by unhooking during the same frame
- Fixed a bug where erroneous lines (eg. '. hook right') would not count towards total lines but would still be executed normally
- Fixed scollbars not properly being synced to mouse position
- Removed "Stable" build, since the default build seemed to work fine for everyone
- Added a build for 32 bit Windows instead

Re-Verification

Due to the small bugfix in the physics engine, all scripts had to be re-verified.
This resulted in 8 scripts being deleted from the database.

Mentions

Even though I didn't implement most of the suggestions yet, big thanks to awesome feedback by: /u/Imapler, /u/JKTKops, /u/mfb-, /wFXx (Hope I didn't forget anyone)

One of my favorite aspects of the game is watching scripts uploaded to the database and seeing how different players approach the levels in unique new ways. The previous update introduced the option to extend the hook downwards, a feature which was promptly taken advantage of by players like JKTKops, Barbitos and Cosaur to perform a sort of "bunnyhop", allowing the bot to quickly build up speed and therefore break all existing records - Awesome!
I wanted everyone to be able to check out all the other players' scripts in the database, which is why the ScoreExplorer was added. Can't wait to see you guys discovering even more useful tricks to push the highscores to their limits!

Also huuge thank you to all the people that donated! :)

I'm planning to put the game on steam by the end of this year, which means that you can expect some more major updates in the coming months.

Hope you'll enjoy & thanks for playing!

Cheers, Lele
