Logical Path Update 7.0.0

Logical Path
A downloadable education simulator for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello there.
Logical Path Update 7.0.0 available now. This is the largest update ever. It took about 5 days ONLY FOR to write the list of changes. Raw changelog takes 670 lines.

This update was focused to 2 things: improving the editor and updating the interface. And after all the changes, the project began to feel more professional, I hope you enjoy that.

Editor update:

Tools:

  • Added new tool "Eraser"
  • Added new tool "Move"
    • Ability to move objects, joints, and selected parts of the circuit
  • "Select" tool:
    • Hotkey changed: 'e' -> 'm'
  • "Paste" tool:
    • Ability to rotate and flip the buffer circuit
    • Ignoring the elements that match the editor circuit
      • If the elements, objects or wires from the buffer circuit coincide with the elements in the editor circuit, then they are drawn in blue and are not inserted into the editor circuit
      • The state of the wires is always inserted, which can be used to copy the state of one circuit over another. For example memory cells
    • Shift to force installation of objects
  • Added outlining of objects under the mouse

Objects:

Book:

  • Added scrolling of articles using: space | home/end | up/down arrows
  • The "reset the circuit" button in practice: when pressed, it now shows a confirmation dialog box, and a hint that the action can be canceled
  • Smart positioning of articles: if the "article list" panel does not overlap the article when opening, then the article remains in place, otherwise it is shifted and centered on the right side
