This update brings a new feature for players that like optimizing, plus some smaller improvements.

New features

• Load and code from your best solutions in terms of time, solution size or run size. After completing Use Your Powers Wisely players will be able to access a new menu. This allows players to load the code that achieved the best score for each of the 3 score categories. So if you tried different approaches to a level, say trying to optimise the time score then later trying to shrink your code into as small as possible solution size, you'll now be able to switch between them and continue improving them.

Other changes

• Remove loading splash, as loading is generally too fast to see it now.
• Improve/reword overlay messaging about re-running code at each stage.
• Clarify in function docs that location ids are always positive and non-zero.
• Improve 'not' primer explanation.
• Improve Try using else & comparison message placement.

Issues & Feedback

New issues to investigate:

• Improve/clarify "safe" tile meaning #182

Salvage Engineer, you have a new assignment on a distant world...

Robo Instructus is a puzzle game in which players manoeuvre a robot by issuing instructions via a simple programming language.

As players progress through the game they unlock new functions to overcome new puzzles, each of which can be solved in multiple ways. The more you master the robot, the more elegant and powerful your solutions will be.

Take the role of a Salvage Engineer sent across space. Use wits and tenacity to uncover the secrets of this isolated, frozen world.
