the once every 7 seconds stuck check now also check to see if you stay stuck for 3 seconds before resetting you.
after falling off most open maps you don't take damage
you fall down into the level again above the entrance
disabled smooth camera tracking for
portals
falling off map
added a once every 7 seconds check to see if the player is suck inside the map
if stuck you teleport to the level entrance
catches about 90% of the ways to get stuck from falling too fast
this might causing problems after more testing, not sure
bug fixes

default skin has slightly more narrow legs
added ammo to gun descriptions
on later levels spawn 2 bosses, but 1 power up each
starts at simulation.difficulty > 23 //on hard mode level 6, level 12 on easy, level 4 on why?
makes combat harder, but also means that you will always get at least 2 drops per level
you used to have a chance to only get 1 near the end of the game
I'm guessing this will lead to about 3 more total tech by the final boss

entanglement power up no longer shows guns or fields you already have
disabled minimal HUD for training levels
reaction inhibitor 12->11% mob max health reduction
spawn.bodyRect() now can add blocks mid level without any extra code
I think I found all the bugs this causes, but let me know if any blocks added mid game aren't colliding
community map - clock update:
visual overhaul,live lighting, remove pendulum overlap, move with pendulum if you stand in it, debris, trap exit only opens after completing the fight, moving elements now freeze while using time dilation

new community map!! underpass by Richard0820
duplicated power ups aren't circles
metastability makes power ups triangles instead of circles
3->4 seconds of half life before exploding
only metastability duplicated power ups have the lighting graphic
mob's that fall off the map now die instead of just being removed
so they can still spawn power ups
you can pick up power ups from slightly farther away (450)
but less far away when not facing the power up (100)
accretion has less lag at high amounts of heal power ups following you
several other bug fixes
setting - minimal HUD
remove: defense bar, damage bar, tech, in game console
improved text clarity on coupling
removed tech decoupling
added cloaking and sneak attack graphics
also, the 50% defense when cloaked is now clear from the defense bar
ternary 44->83% damage but requires current gun to have ammo/3 (was any gun)
wormhole invariant: uses much less energy to pause time
standing wave has less recoil when blocking
new images
bug fixes
new community level - superNgonBros by DesBoot

no longer provides immunity for 1 second after exiting rewind
spawns 20% fewer bots
deflecting changes
shielded mobs take 50% more energy to deflect
deflecting shielded mobs now only disables your shield for perfect diamagnetism and not for very long
you can deflect any mob if you have at least 5% energy, but if deflecting brings you below that your shield is disabled for 1 second
also you can't passively regen energy while shield is disabled
standing wave rework
coupling gives iceIX -> max energy
expansion gives deflection efficiency -> +50 max energy
spherical harmonics gives 40 -> 50% deflection efficiency
electronegativity is a fieldTech for standing wave, wormhole, and pilot wave
also 0.15 -> 0.22% damage per energy
dynamic equilibrium is no longer unlocked by standing wave
tech: surface plasmons - after deflecting drains all your energy, shoot lasers in every direction
added a generic system to add code that loops for a set time
Example code:
simulation.ephemera.push({
name: "uniqueName",
count: 60, //cycles before it self removes
do() {
this.count--
if (this.count < 0) simulation.removeEphemera(this.name)
//run code here
},
})
