Smashout 1.1

Hello Smasherouties!

So we finally had Gold turn-in for class today at Full Sail. It went pretty well and right after a quick celebratory breakfast at the I of HOPS we started working on an Arcade Version of the game for these fancy Arcade Machine boxes that are in our lobbies at Full Sail. So while we were doing that we found a few bugs and went ahead and resolved those for a new release that we are presenting right now!

Smashout 1.1 is an installer like Smashout Gold but contains the following:

Changes
  • Levels P1, P2, and P3 have been removed. These were presentation levels and meant for School Purposes only.
  • Instant win and Level Cylcing (via keyboard) have been removed. These were always intended to be debug keys.
Fixes
  • Bug with coming out of over tilting and pressing grandma mode would case game music to play at normal levels has been fixed
  • Bug that caused Grandma Mode to stay on if activated right when ball dies has been fixed. Grandma Mode will now be disabled as soon as ball dies.
  • Bug where points from last brick are not factored in high score that is actually saved has been fixed.
  • Mouse input seemingly being stopped when mouse is all the way on the side of screen has been fixed. You can now keep moving the mouse even if the cursor is against the side and paddles will rotate accordingly.
So go ahead and get the new version. If you want to be nice and fair, make sure to delete the Smashout folder wherever you installed to clear your old profiles (this file is saved from being Uninstalled with everything else).

Enjoy y'all! We will probably have a newer version in the next few days. However, I should note that as school is winding down and most of the team is splitting up to different parts of the country, this may very well be the final days of Smashout. I'll make sure we post some nice final thoughts so we don't leave anyone in the dark.
