This update will push the version to 1.5 because well, I feel like we had some major updates in 1.4 that probably should've bumped the number and because there is a wpm calculation change in here.
Version 1.5 is not anything super massive, and I will use the numbering system a bit differently starting with version 2. And speaking of v2 - multiplayer is going along well, still trying to figure out some things. Will be running some private tests with the mods and then open it up to supporters. Would love to get that going this month but I'm not making any promises :)
Wpm calculation adjustment:
- Tiny change in this update, more of a quality of life change. From now, in time mode, if your last word was cut short by the timer running out and it was correct up to that point - those characters will now be included in your wpm. (previously, only fully complete words counted) For example:
- your last word is
sometimesand you manage to typesometbefore you ran out of time - in this update (compared to before) your WPM will be higher by 1
I feel like this is a small and fair change (especially if you typed half a word correctly but simply couldn't finish because of the time). A little side effect is that it will also make the pace caret a bit more reliable.
New features:
- Single List Command Line. Willerbee is on a roll recently, pushing out some great updates - thanks a lot! This one is for the power users, and allows you to skip the extra sub menus of the command line, by making all the commands one big list. Just type exactly what you are looking for, for example 'theme bento' and the first suggested command will be to change the theme to Bento! You no longer need to search for 'theme', press enter and then search for 'bento' and confirm with enter once more. Super fast!
Bug fixes:
- Fixed local time spent typing not including incomplete test. (server side test was always correct, local data was resynced on refresh)
- Fixed a nasty bug where combining show all lines and plus one funbox would result in tests being only 2 words long.
- Newly registered users shouldn't see the 'missing account data' error anymore.
- Fixed a small bug when sometimes the last word in words history would not be shown properly.
Other changes and improvements:
- PB's will now include consistency. This will only work for new records though.
- Initially generating more words to fill the space due to adding page width setting.
- You can now close the leaderboards by pressing
esc. Thanks, willerbee. - You can now change pages using the command line. Thanks, willerbee.
- Characters stat will now show incorrect, extra and missed characters separately instead of combining them into one number.
