0.3.6

FEATURES
TWEAKS
- New individual scoring on results screen after team
play.
- Results screen shows a flag with the winner's colours
in the background.
- The game automatically detects gamepads when you open
the "add player" menu. This means you can add more
gamepads even after you've started the game, rather
than having to restart the application to detect new
gamepads.
BUGFIXES
- King of the Hill now actually has an effect on team
play.
- Some users could only get input from the first two
gamepads. This has been fixed!
BUGS

0.3.5

FEATURES
- Team play added.
- "create account" button added to login screen, which
takes players to KarBOOM.net where an account can be
created for online play.
TWEAKS
- Dedicated server mode now displays the game name,
ip (public or private, depending on whether it's an
online game or LAN game), and port used so it's easier
to pass on the information to players.
- The chat box is no longer closed when displaying the
results.
BUGFIXES
- Fixed some UI positions when creating a dedicated
server.
- Pressing ENTER now works to connect by ip or by LAN
when entering information in their respective menus.
BUGS
- Sometimes KarBOOM cannot determine your ip when
hosting. Disconnecting and reconnecting appears to
solve the problem. The consequences are purely visual
for the host -- it doesn't appear to cause connection
problems for clients.

0.3.4

FEATURES
- "king of the hill" mutator.
- New join option: "join by ip" for direct connections
without the assistance of the server list.
- New join option: "join LAN" doesn't require internet
connection or account. Connect directly to a game
being hosted on your Local Area Network.
- New server modes: "listed", "unlisted", and "LAN
only".
TWEAKS
BUGFIXES
- One cause (hopefully the ONLY cause) of the
intermittent crash has been cornered and killed with
glee and maniacal laughter.
- Fixed a bug where a lone client was not able to drive
around freely in life-limit mode.
BUGS

0.3.3

FEATURES
TWEAKS
- Up to 48 cars may participate, again.
- Backgrounds have been changed.
- Cars that are knocked off the arena explode in a
pillar of light in their colour instead of the
standard explosion.
- Countdown timer shows milliseconds and its appearance
has changed.
- Explosions shake the camera.
- Gamepad-controlled mouse actions are now limited
to the game window.
- Gamepad analog and trigger input has small min/max
dead-zones to prevent that slightly faulty gamepads
cannot provide the full range of input or sit
comfortably at zero.
- Starting an offline game without adding players or
bots now prompts the user to add more player/bots
instead of starting the game empty.
BUGFIXES
- Alt-tabbing out of full-screen no longer messes up
textures. I mean, it does, but as soon as the
KarBOOM window is back in focus, it fixes itself!
BUGS
- As before, I'm afraid. Managed to narrow down where
that intermittent crash isn't.

0.3.2

FEATURES
TWEAKS
- All 48 car skins are available, but only 20 cars can
participate in any game (plenty for the included
levels).
BUGFIXES
- Some award calculations have been fixed.
- An infinite, jittering loop when playing score limit
online with two cars, one of which is the red car, was
fixed.
- Negative scores can now be displayed properly on a
client in online play.
- Clients' cars will no longer disappear spontaneously
when playing near precarious edges.
- Engine sounds now stop playing when no cars exist.
BUGS
- Some awards appear with a value of "0" on clients.
- An intermittent crash for clients in online play with
an unknown cause. I'm running tests trying to catch
it.

0.3.1

FEATURES
- New car select screen so players can play any cars with
any keyboard or gamepad input.
- New award system.
- Round over screen shows icons of each car along with
awards achieved during the round for each car.
- Awards listed in AWARDS_CREDITS.txt.
TWEAKS
- Instant feedback for cars controlled by the client.
- Dedicated server is now the only way to host a game. To
play and host at the same time, open the game again and
join your own game. "Host and play" will hopefully be
restored in future if time permits.
BUGFIXES
- A bug in motion-prediction resulted in particularly
jumpy behaviour when a car was on tar. This has been
fixed.
- Bug where player scores aren't shown on clients has
been eliminated.
- Previously listed bugs for round over screen fixed.
- Adding players to online games could occasionally result
in "orphaned" cars that couldn't be controlled or
removed by anyone. This has been fixed.
- Life limit + Thief now waits long enough when there's
one player left to make sure other players have time
to come back into the game if they're credited with a
KO.
- All victory conditions should now work correctly in
online play. The game now automatically waits for enough
players to join before beginning a round.

0.3

FEATURES
- New surfaces: ice and tar.
- New level objects: barriers, bridges and conveyor-ramps.
- New hazard: pits.
- Custom levels can now be loaded.
- New levels.
- "sapoi" now supports any number of players more than 2,
instead of just 3 players.
- Score-related mutators (like "tag" and "hold the flag")
now all have alternative rules to work with life-limit.
- Support for more resolutions and fullscreen.
- Dedicated Server mode.
- Min-Players option when hosting makes sure there are
always enough players by adding and removing bots as
needed reach this minimum number of players.
TWEAKS
- New car models, car shaders improved, new car skins.
- New background shader effects.
- Explosions are now the colour of the car that exploded.
- Cars now survive longer on grass before they explode.
- Chat messages can now span several lines.
- Bots, victory conditions, mutators and level choice are
now all automatically saved in the config file.
- Boost explosion now stays with the car that created it,
avoiding the appearance of tiny random explosions that
don't appear to be doing anything at times.
BUGFIXES
- "sapoi" no longer interferes with removing players, and
vice versa.
- Blinking cursor no longer becomes part of the remembered
information when using the "remember me" option.
BUGS
- Round over screen does not yet handle more than fourteen
cars properly -- a new round over screen is planned.
- Replay mode has been disabled until it can be
re-implemented to accommodate more cars and options.
- Adding and removing cars in online play can sometimes not
work. If you have extra uncontrollable cars, leaving and
joining again should fix it.
- Dedicated server menu doesn't show the saved victory
conditions. Workaround this by making sure to always set
the victory conditions when hosting, even if you want
"no limit".
- Bridges and ramps are placeholders. It's kind of a bug,
I guess. Might as well list the rubbish sound here as
well.
