Update V.2.0 (Major Update)

Hey there! I made some pretty major changes to WriteRush. You can see all of them below:

1. Rewrote about 80% of the code :D
2. Fixed the positioning of the particles. They should always spawn at the caret now. Yay!
3. Major UI overhaul!
4. Deleted “Personal Information” menu (this was meant to be a system where you could level up. I’ll add this in a future update).
5. Organized the files into folders.
6. Made “Settings” update changes immediately.
7. Changed the “Save” button on the navbar to “Export” to prevent confusion
8. Re-ordered the navbar/menu buttons to make it more intuitive.
9. Made the WriteRush text a button.
10. Moved the “About” menu button to the “WriteRush” button
11. Typing particles are now only confetti.
12. Made it so you can change the amount of confetti.
13. Fixed screen shake intensity (the previous code was REALLY buggy lol)
14. Screen shake is not limited to the x-axis, it now moves in random directions. This looks better.
15. Added line breaks and more spacing between each section in “Settings”.
16. Added blur effect for menus.
17. Made the scrollbar design fit in with the rest of WriteRush.
18. Removed the outline effect when the textarea (the place in which you write) is selected.
19. Fixed bug where the typing area will flicker if you have extremely long lines.
20. Changed UI font.
21. Improved how the progress bar looks.
22. Made the fireworks animation shorter (it was way too long before).
23. Deleted the start menu that prompted you to “Continue Previous Session” or “Set a new Goal”. It now continues the previous session by default.
24. Starting message that displays once.
25. Made the save system WAY simpler (you won’t see any differences, but this makes it much easier to develop).
26. Changed the export .txt files from “output.txt” to “WriteRush_Output.txt”.
27. Replaced all visual customization with a simple night-mode checkbox.
28. Made the progress bar immediately update when opened.
29. Made it so that already-completed words don’t shoot confetti from the progress bar when WriteRush is opened.

The changes are really nice, in my opinion! They took about 3 straight days of coding to accomplish, and I'm really proud of them. This has improved WriteRush tremendously. But don't worry, I'm not stopping here! I have some more updates planned, I was just super excited to share this, so I went ahead and did that.

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite of version 1.3 — hence why I changed it to 2.0. It has everything the previous version had, but also with some major quality-of-life improvements. And the UI looks REALLY good.

If you like WriteRush, please leave a review! It helps so much!

Thank you for supporting WriteRush, and I hope this helps you in your writing adventures!
