Changes
- Super Sonic can have all types on his board (#393). With General › Gameplay › Super Sonic: stay on the board on, Super Sonic keeps his board, but the Chaos Emeralds gear has no type, so he couldn't grind rails, fly through flight rings or break through obstacles. A new launcher option, General › Gameplay › Super Sonic: all types on the board, gives board Super Sonic the speed, fly and power types, like the Omnipotence gear. It is shown only while "stay on the board" is on, and only works together with it. Only players get the types; computer racers keep their own gear's. When he turns back into Sonic, the types go away until he transforms again. It is off by default.
- Both Super Sonic options are now off in online play. "Stay on the board" and "all types on the board" do nothing in online races, so everyone plays by the original rules there.
Everything else is the same as v0.10.59.
Validation
- The #393 case on Windows, this release's package: started from the packaged launcher with both Super Sonic options on, Free Race › Dolphin Resort › Sonic › Chaos Emeralds with 100 rings. He turned into Super Sonic, stayed on his board, and got all three types (the game's log shows his type mask change from none to speed + fly + power). Full speed (1.001), no errors.
- Windows x64 package, Vulkan, with the validation layer: a whole Dolphin Resort race with no validation errors (speed 1.000, all 455 pipelines prepared). The title movie, Sharp scaling and an Avatar award in the middle of a race were also checked.
- Windows x64 package, Direct3D 11 (experimental): on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, a whole Dolphin Resort race at feature level 11.1 (speed 0.999) and the start of a race at feature level 11.0 with the fallback for older drivers (speed 0.995). No shader had to be compiled while playing.
- Linux archive: built on Ubuntu 22.04 (needs glibc 2.35), with the camera runtime next to the game. Checked with software rendering: on a 1920x1080 display (X11) and a 1024x768 (4:3) display it plays into a Dolphin Resort race; under a Wayland compositor (weston) with SDL 2.32.8 it opens a native Wayland window and runs to the title screen.
- macOS (M1) package: a whole Dolphin Resort race at full speed (0.999), no MoltenVK errors; a race with sound on also ran at full speed.
- AYN Thor, this release's APK (Android 10+): a whole race at full speed (0.999), with touch controls and tilt leaning (0.999), with camera motion turned on (the Thor has no camera, so the game says so and keeps racing; 0.999), and with all game threads squeezed onto one CPU core (0.999). Sound was on in every race. No crashes or memory errors. The new launcher option is in both APKs.
- Android APKs: same signing key as before, so they install over 0.10.59.
- Unit tests:
- 184 passed on Linux; on Windows 191 passed and 1 was skipped (it needs the Kinect SDK).
- On macOS, 181 of 183 passed; the 2 that failed are the same tests that earlier releases failed, and the macOS GitHub Actions run leaves them out.
- GitHub Actions builds and tests passed on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android.
- Not tested:
- Grinding a rail or flying through flight rings as board Super Sonic in play (the checks reached the power gate and the type change; all three types are set the same way).
- Two local players, and the new option on Android, Linux or macOS in a race.
- This release's package on a Mali phone or tablet.
- The iOS app was built and packaged only.
