Updates

June 20, 2016

• Added time metric that counts upward by seconds for each stage
• Added best time record keeping for each stage. Currently resets after the game exits or returns to the title screen. Need to write best score data to file. Best score is based on least number of moves, and then time if number of moves are equal.
• Added black shadow around game GUI text
• Copyright text is now slightly transparent
• Added attract demo screen for convention booth demo. Runs after the title screen display. Uses compressed .mov video file, but could be improved by having AI play automatically.

• Camera position and rotation is dynamically positioned at the beginning of the level based on the number of rows and columns in the level
• Camera is now pointed to the center position of the level
• The tiles on the level select screen are now centered.

• The player can now load their own levels by placing .txt files in the Sokoban format in the IchibanSokoban_Data/maps directory
• Fixed size of box so it correctly fits in the unit square
• Camera had to be zoomed out to support larger levels. Will try to dynamically place the camera based on level size in a future release.
