The Sync Update

The game state finally syncs between players - meaning no random crashes, wins, losses, or missing paths. We also have cyclical paths and a new statistics screen (eventually will become a widget in the sidebar)

What's Changed

• 69 cyclical paths by @varunsingh87 in #198
• 197 correct path ids for client and weird game ending bug by @varunsingh87 in #200
• 150 Statistics Screen (without Route Finder) by @Datoneguy246 in #201

Full Changelog: v0.0.4...v0.0.5

Winter 2024 Beta Pre-Release Update

Highlights

• Passenger now spawn consistently per airport rather than randomly throughout the map (thanks to Sameer and Vincent for their feedback)
• Airplanes per path now limited to 4
• Exit game with "Esc" key
• Switch between overlapping paths with ⬆️ (up) and ⬇️ (down) arrow keys
• Major performance improvements on desktop app. Memory leak that caused the desktop app to crash early is resolved. Game no longer gets laggier over time.
• Many many bug fixes

The desktop app is playable, so feel free to try it out with others this week!
Note the web app is not playable at the moment, but we hope to fix this soon! For now, you'll need to download the JAR file to play and have at least Java/JRE 17 installed. https://www.java.com/download/ie_manual.jsp
