Checkpoint Chaser performance updates



  •  Performance Improvements

    Noticeable difference in performance was achieved by disabling code when it's not needed.

    The level editor had some lag spikes when pressing any key in a very large track, this was caused by undo redo system. The fix implemented is partial and doesn't fix other lag spikes caused by the undo redo system.

    This update slightly improves the placement system of the level editor, placing blocks on large tracks should be a bit faster.

    Bots are resource intensive, this update fixes some inefficient bot intelligence code.


  • Updated level editor documentation

    The level editor has documentation built in.

    This update improves the built-in documentation.

    There is a much better documentation than the built-in, you can get the better PDF document for free on the game's itch page.


  • Other tweaks

    The level editor has a new camera zoom sound, it is a basic short sine wave!

    Dash power up art is updated to contrast with the Slow power up in terms of color.

    Bombs now have a slight blur when they explode, this is only active when element effects is on.

    Android package name is different, it no longer ends with experimental. (Forgot to change it)

    Some graphical settings may temporarily turn off if the game is lagging.

    The blur behind the in-game leader board now refreshes adaptive to the current frame rate of the game. (if the game lags, the blur updates slower)
