Bot Land version 1.1.0
[ 2019-11-14 22:50:41 CET ] [ Original post ]
Version 1.1.0 is out! Major changes:
- Code editor improvements
- Add auto-completion for API and variable names. You can manually trigger this by pressing ctrl+space.
- Add status bar on desktop. This indicates whether you have errors, how long your script is, and your current row/column number.
- Auto-close brackets and quotes.
- Colorize brackets (both matching and non-matching).
- Allow continuation of block comments by pressing enter (e.g. typing "/*" and pressing enter).
- Highlight active line.
- Highlight all other instances of the currently selected text.
- Improve styles/colors, including for tooltips.
- Add a way to view "debugLog" output in the Steam version of the game (this may not be present for another couple of days though).
- Add toast notifications for completing missions.
- Add toast notifications for changing leagues. These show when you're promoted or demoted as long as you've finished your placement matches for the current season.
- The Bot Land logo at the upper left of most pages can now be used to navigate back to the Battle Log page.
- Add a button to the cosmetics tab in the store that will take you to the salvage pack dialog.
- Add warning for guests when attempting to start ranked games. This is because guests can only play unranked games.
- Darken Arena tiles even for the defender, that way you can tell where attackers can and can't place their bots without having to enter Test Mode. Note that this is just a visual change.
- Make final introductory tutorial easier by decreasing the Melee bots from level 2 to level 1 and the Missiles bots from level 3 to level 2.
- Consolidate several steps in the intro tutorials. A total of 7 steps (and one additional conditional step) were removed, meaning it should feel less like there are a million pop-ups in a new player's way.
- Fix bug where attempting to fast-forward the same round more than once would result in future rounds automatically being fast-forwarded.
- "debugLog" can now log up to 250 characters at once (instead of just 50).
- Add version-specific changelog links to the news log. E.g. clicking version X's "View changelog" button will automatically scroll to where X is described.
- When attempting to purchase something too expensive, you will be given an error immediately rather than first asking if you're certain you want to purchase the item.
- Show two decimal places for all ratings in the leaderboard.
- Change tooltip of the "Play" button to be "Replay" in instances where you're playing out a battle that already happened.
- Fix EMP and canEMP documentation. canEMP mentioned a tile or target when neither mattered. EMP now states that there's no way to detect whether you've been EMP'd.
- Fix documentation bug mentioning "ALLY" when it should never have been usable.
- When watching the scripting video, Bot Land's sounds will be muted.

Do you like strategy games? Are you a regular human who still hasn't figured out how to move at the speed of light? THEN OH BOY IS BOT LAND THE GAME FOR YOU!
In Bot Land, all of your bots follow scripts (so you can snap your controller in half for all we care). You'll tell your bots how to perform actions ahead of time, that way they don't need a lousy human to control them mid-battle. This allows your bots to fight even while you're offline; they'll protect your CPU against other players' attacks.
Now, let's be honest... you're a great gamer—that's why you're reading this description—but even you might still lose a match or two. That's where replays come in handy. Maybe your opponent cloaked, bypassed your bots, and destroyed your CPU while your own bots were busy calculating prime numbers with a billion digits. You can use that information to improve for next time.
Then, after improving your defense, you can attack other players' CPUs in the same way. Maybe you've got a killer strategy involving LANDMINES or TELEPORTATION or OTHER BOLDED WORDS, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. You finally find the perfect chump on which to unleash this onslaught. They've got measly bots with artillery and shields, so you teleport behind them, misquote a meme, and punch them in their shiny metal backs. You're the top dog-bot now.
And when you win...? Oh, don't even get us started. You'll earn Botcoin, which, through a myriad of steps, roughly translates to fame and fortune in real life (the steps are really just a sense of satisfaction and a profound feeling of "the courage was within me the entire time!"; Botcoin isn't a cryptocurrency). You'll buy new items, make new strategies, teach a wasp bot how to love, ponder whether we're all just living in a simulation, and then look up how to remove wasp-bot stingers from your arm. It's great fun.
