This is just a small update fixing some more bugs, the main one being the gyro.
The gyro has now been changed. It will now output a rotation between -180 and 180 degrees as intended initially and it has a new circuit board part which now accepts a Boolean input so you can reset the rotation at any time.
Patch Notes
Bug fixes
Gyro reworked
Fixed a bug where laser ranger could detect the camera
Fixed a bug causing the game to crash after deleting a mine detector
Fixed a bug to do with the red walls in the colour maze
Hot fixes (bugs patched between updates)
Fixed rotation bug breaking the 3rd tutorial introduced by the latest patch
Now working on
The community has voted for adding a full sandbox feature to the game next so work has now begun on it.
LogicBots Demo
There is now a demo for LogicBots!
The demo contains the tutorials and three levels to try out so if you were unsure about LogicBots you can now give it a try!
User feedback update - Part alignment, fast forward and improved snap lines
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the great feedback!
This update adds a lot of the requested features, some new parts to use and fixes all the currently known bugs.
The main things you will notice are:
Now when placing a part you can now align its rotation "to world" or to the part you are placing it on making part placement less fiddly.
The ability to fast forward in Live mode has also been added. This will run the simulation at 4x normal speed! There has been a small rework to the way the simulation works to improve simulation accuracy. The simulation will now automatically slow down if your computer can't keep up.
Snap line placement has been greatly improved. Snap lines now align themselves to the part you are placing them on instead of "the world" and there is a new option to mirror snap line placement allowing for greater symmetry for your LogicBots.
Two new parts have been added to the game; A new debugging part called "Number Monitor". This will let you monitor up to 4 numbers from your circuit board while in live mode. And a new functional gate called "Clamp". This will round and input number to the nearest whole number.
I have just posted a new thread in discussions with a poll for what you would like to see worked on next; Full Sandbox mode, level theming, extra tutorials or more robot parts. All these features will eventually be in LogicBots but you can help decide which features will come first!
I also want to add more prefabs to the circuit sandbox mode as currently there is only one. If you have a cool circuit you have made export it and post a link in the discussions thread and it may be included as a prefab along with your name or alias if you want.
Hope you enjoy the improvements!
