Version 0.5.0 alpha

Tutorial

Added a tutorial button to the main menu. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Introductory pop up messages for new random worlds are removed

Blocks

Added the Platform

• Makes vertical movement much easier

Added the Announcer (Only available with give cheat)

• Sending a charge will select the responding line from announcements.txt in the world save folder and popup that message.
• If an anouncement message includes something like "[down]", it will be find the bound key and replace it with "[S]".
• Heavily used in the new tutorial world

Added the Boundary (Only available with give cheat)

• Can't be picked up
• Cannot be welded or unwelded
• Cannot be moved
• Heavily used in the new tutorial world

Repulsion cores can cancel each-other
Repulsion cores no longer work through blocks

Creator now creates with a frequency relative to its charge

Player-frozen blocks can no longer be extracted or heated

Logs no longer out-grow their leaves, stunting the growth of the entire tree

UI

Manually mining ore veins is now +build (default: [mouse left]), not +remove (default: [mouse right])

"scan" replaced with a what-am-I-looking-at that (optionally) is always visible. It shows information for the block your mouse is hovering over, or can "focus" (default: [F]) on one block

Motors and rollers can have their orientation changed just by clicking
Motors and rollers have a more obvious direction indicator

Guidebook overhaul

• Blocks have bigger icons and are grouped in tabs
• Back button

"refresh_messages" replaced with "show_messages" (default: [T]). Press to toggle popup message history

More operations can be done by clicking buttons

• Closing UI elements
• Opening the backpack or guidebook
• Toggling weld mode

Player

A unique sprite displays when stuck inside a block

Console

added "load_world" command

You can now add launch arguments. Example:
roody2d.exe -echo loading a world in instantly -load_world <world name>

"+paint" cheat to quickly place and weld blocks. This is the main way of building with boundaries.

"fill <block> <max distance>" cheat to quickly replace a group of blocks. If the <block> argument is empty or an invalid name, it will fill with the type of block you are holding.

Bugs

Fixed colliding with the side of a upwards repulsion core stream

Logs growing now updates extractors

Various other block update fixes

Do to openGL weirdness, the borderless window is now 1 pixel taller so it doesn't become just fullscreen.
