Bugs are icky and gross so if you find any toss them in this sticky post where they can't escape! (make sure to grab them very gently so as to not harm the bug, otherwise I won't be able to fix it)

AHH HAIRY SPIDER: negative imaginary instances of a door take away the wrong keys.

Tiny side bug: we are all aware that the graphics of a door won't update unless you hit "s" twice. Not the mega bug, we can be patient.

take positive real
take negative imaginary
...right?
Blue positive blast doortake positive imaginary
take negative real

But which way is it actually supposed to go?

fixed both in 0.2.0.2

the door UI glitches out of existence when I set it to glitch

well I just found another bug...


Developer

what did you do to get the bug? it's pretty much impossible to fix bugs if I can't replicate them on my end

I have no idea, but I fixed it by downloading the zip file again

The new 3.0.0 version is crashing for me a lot. I don't really know why. 

1. I tried to open a door with -i copies of itself, using a -i master key. That may or may not have caused a crash.

2. I somehow placed down a doors hitbox without the actual door??? I was really confused but I managed to remove it by placing a door where the hitbox was to attempt to delete it.

3. I got another crash... somehow. It was in editor mode somehow

4. Can you reenable zero-copy doors in the submenu and only the submenu? It makes levels easier to design, and you can just ban the placement of zero doors.

UPDATE: Okay, so imaginary door destruction actually works okay somehow most times. When the game crashes, the last image is the top row of blocks being lined up unusually well instead of scattering like normal. Maybe after cloning, the animation bugs? Maybe it's related to doors of different sizes?

I need to save my levels more.

ONE LAST THEORY: Sometimes when I place a door down, its lock gets misaligned and rendered at the wrong size.

 

I think the pure door is somehow writing its 2-tall size lock to the brown door. If the door also somehow wrote the wrong total size, the particle engine might be getting incorrect data.

Developer

let me know if you figure out how to replicate the door hitbox thing

I could do the zero-copy door thing, but how does it make level design easier?

I think it would make the menu navigation easier. Whenever I want to make a door that extends in a purely imaginary direction, I try to set the real count to zero before I change the imaginary component. You can set keys to 0+0i so this isn't a problem, and locks use the checkboxes so no issue there. But when I try it on the whole door, I wind up with a negative-copied door. Being able to set doors to 0+0i in the side menu, even if you can't actually place them down, just makes more sense to my brain.

um

woop

I don't know why, but the black door isn't reversing my keys. (I have 1+1i brown) What's weird is the bug doesn't always occur, especially if I go to the door immediately. 

and now it wont post wonderful

if you hold down the stop button in playtest mode and press a then let go of the stop button the keypad appears in the editor

and you are softlocked

Developer

fixed in 0.4.0.0

Why does opened blast doors sound exactly like opened normal doors ?

You can curse brown doors.

Opening a cursed Master Door still plays the opened Master Door sound.

Sometimes when you open a level the doors will LITERALLY destroy themselves. I'm not even joking.


Developer

Hmm this might have the same root cause as another bug I wanted to fix
