* Robot Greeting Sounds *

Hi! I've been working a lot in the last ~2 Months since the previous patch to get the game to the next level:

I started the project during my 2nd semester of uni and learned lots of new things since then. There are many old pieces of code that need to be rewritten in order to make it easier to implement new features. This update marks the beginning of the refactoring phase and introduces some pretty awesome new features for advanced users.

Last month, I was chosen as one of 5 finalist in the SUBOTRON Student Projects Live Pitch Competitions 2020, which was a really exciting event and my first time pitching a game. It also gave me some prospective on potential investors and future plans: the game will be put up for early access on Steam during the first quarter of 2021 and then fully released during the second. There will also be a mobile version, which I'd like to finish a few months after the Steam release. 

Since some players asked for a dedicated Discord server, I've also looked into doing that. It's really useful for me as well, since it will allow me to interact with the community more directly by providing help to newer users and discussing upcoming features and changes.

But now without further ado:

Introducing the Bots Are Stupid 1.2 Update: 

* Major Refactoring, Ghost Simulations and Script Saving/Loading *

List of changes:

- Added information about your global rank to the success menu, which opens when finishing a level
- Added SaveStates to the Simulation, which are automatically created every 20 frames and allow you to go back in time
- Added Ghost Simulations, which can be found in the Tool Window and allow you to easily compare your scripts with other players in-game
- Added Script Saving and Loading for each level
- Added a shortcut to progress multiple frames (20) while paused: Shift + RightArrow
- Added shortcuts using the 'Home' and 'End' keys to the TextEditor
- Added limits for scripts to prevent errors with the server: 999 lines / 8000 characters
- Added a button to skip the Tutorial/Intro
- Added the ability to hook downwards with manual controls by pressing Shift + F
- New Command: 'wait until stopped'
- Changed maximum lifetime of the robots to 999 seconds
- Removed the successful script condition for uploading a custom level, now all it needs is a SpawnPipe and the Portal
- Fix crash when trying to paste an empty clipboard
- Fix appearance of the line number in the TextEditor
- Fix particles sometimes being rendered behind objects in default levels
- Lots of refactoring
