Bot Land version 1.2.0

Major changes:

  • Add Campaign Mode! There are seven missions so far, which should make for a much smoother introduction to the game for new players. Even if you're a returning player, you should find it fun. Plus, each campaign mission grants 750 Botcoin. The tutorial was shortened to accommodate adding Campaign Mode.
  • Add importing and exporting Blockly scripts. These show up as buttons in the top bar of the Blockly editor. This will allow you to share Blockly scripts externally (e.g. via Discord).
  • Allow users to get ranked matches sooner. Previously, if you attacked a player via a ranked match, you couldn't attack them again within 24 hours. Now, that time has been lowered to 22 hours. This should make it easier to play your ranked matches at the same time every day.
  • Ask for email consent when you sign up or convert from a guest account. If you already had an account, it will ask for it on your next login. This can always be changed via the Settings menu. My tentative plans for using this consent include surveying users about Campaign Mode.
  • Fix two bugs with "setAttackPriority":
    • One bug was that your weapon's range wasn't considered, just your vision range. This meant that if you had level 1 Missiles (range===3) but a high-priority target was within VISION range (range===5), then it would find only the high-priority target and end up firing at nothing.
    • The other bug was specifically with Lasers. It would sometimes pick an entity that wasn't the top of the priority list.
Minor changes:
  • You now have access via Blockly and BotLandScript to "turnNumber", which represents the total number of turns that have occurred in the current round.
  • Fix bug where the number of stars earned from Challenge Mode would sometimes be higher than what you actually earned. This was just a display bug.
  • Fix issue when pasting BotLandScript that exactly matches the already-selected code.

  • 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.
