Update Notes For October 21
Author: tutor,
published 1 week ago,
New feature added: you can now (finally) select which display you want the program to run on! Just go to "Settings" on the main menu to select your display. It should remember your selection between sessions.
I've also completely re-worked the fog of war system so that it is even more performant. You should now be able to move the map as fast as you'd like using either the arrow keys on your keyboard or the arrow icons on each side of the screen when the map icon is active in the menu.
I had to use a number of tricks to make this work on very large maps without any performance penalty. I've tested it with the current largest size 120x120 grid (that's 10 feet by 10 feet of real-world space!) and it works great. I may up the largest size now that everything is running smoothly.
The web-based client still needs a little work to sync the fog properly at all times, but ti should be usable in its current state. Fixing those remaining bugs is top priority.
Next up will be moving the map and adding/editing/removing tokens from within the DM client. After that will be manually saving the game state between sessions (it happens automatically now but I can see it being useful to save the files manually).
I received my first negative review recently and it was rather disheartening. I really think the person just didn't know what to do. Making an in game tutorial is definitely on the agenda, but adding more features seems more important right now. But please, do reach out rather than leave a bad review. I'm doing this in my spare time totally for free and negative reviews are a huge bummer.
