version 1.131

In this forum I post the changes on the DEVELOPER version of the game.
These versions are (at the time i post them) not yet published to google play, only registered testers can download it and test it before publishing.

Non-tester forumers: if you want to get the DEVELOPER version (to see the changes sooner, or you want to try your own map designs) please EMAIL me to zerotouchsystems at gmail dot com to register yourself as a tester.

Stratego I now finished 6 maps. The story is still ongoing so I'll send them all to you once I finish, I just can't finish them at the moment since I still can't think of a story ending.
But is it possible to send them all at once? Or only individual ?

Well - I didn't change anything in the assets to fix that.
It's pure engine change. And those assets are from 4 days before - maybe it should be added to version changes.

Re: version 1.131

Post by Stratego (dev) »

in all version AOS/AOF/AOW there is a big and SUPER dangerous change (uos already)
- new things: XP handling
- on local/multiplayer games you get XP, you can see XP on account page - later will be else and in nicer formats.
- BUT! from now bet game bets and XP-s are collected on the game record - a little button will appear saying "collect" on a finished game

PLEASE help me test this as this can mess up everything if not working properly.

my thought to test
- local campaing map Win on your turn
- local campaing map Win on enemy (AI) turn
- local campaing map Lose
- local campaing map Lose on enemy (AI) turn

- local random map Win on your turn
- local random map Win on enemy (AI) turn
- local random map lose on your turn
- local random map lose on enemy (AI) turn

- multiplayer game Win on your turn
- multiplayer game Win on enemy (Multiplayer) turn
- multiplayer game lose on your turn
- multiplayer game lose on enemy (Multiplayer) turn

- hotseat mode - i dont have clue what wil do :) this also needs some testing.

What should be checked
- no crash in either case on non of the dialogs.
- all case you get a message and XP results written (either in game / or pressing the collect button)
- if you started the game earlier or with a device having no latest dev version - the Collect button should not appear.
- bet game bets should be printed well on dialog and added to account properly
- xp values earned should be calcualted properly to XP account (u see under account)
- XP values are good if they are lower than 300XP for a map (there can be exceptions on big and very very long running maps) but in general 150-200 or max 300XP - tell me if you get more anywhere.
- if you level up in XP table you should get a notification window about it ( later will be more fancy)
- XP FARMING: please help me find ways how people will be able to fam XP-s in a progressive way: eg. if you can have 1000XP in 3 minutes of anything than that is not good :)

Please everyone try to test some of these as it is VITAL that this is working well

bad news:
- AOW and AOF are the same so it is good to test only one of them.
- but AOS is different a little as the "fake-online" multiplayer is not turned on there - so AOS needs separate testing - and it is a little more important as user numerbers in google play are much more than on the others.
