v0.0.7 is live. The path is easier to read, scores are honest, and a share link opens the tape.

Flying

  • The coast path is white. The goal ring stays green.
  • Pin a moon and you see your path around that moon only.
  • A tight orbit stays a short line instead of a scribble of loops.
  • Afterburn is a tap on Shift, not a hold. BURN is red while it is on. You get 2x thrust for 225% fuel.
  • The play HUD is telemetry (speed, G, tanks, rotation). Controls and arrow colors live on HOW TO PLAY.

Watching

  • Tapes stay smooth up to 100x.
  • Names sit above every ship, including yours.
  • The G bar shows a number, same as live play.
  • A near-stop turnaround no longer makes the white path skip.
  • Trefoil watches stay smooth through the bottom-right of the course.

Score and Share

  • Faster time and leftover fuel both raise your score, and they weigh the same.
  • Home has GAME IDEA next to How to Play: same ship for everyone, no autopilot, cosmetics only if we ever charge.
  • WHAT'S NEW is in the game, and at https://slingshotspeeders.com/changelog.
  • SHARE copies your score, time, fuel, map, and a link that opens that tape.
  • The win card can send a one-line note. It stays private.
  • Recent runs show the score for a win.
  • A win on the board has to match a real flight, not a typed-in time.

Also

  • List times are DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS.
  • Runs under 20 seconds still log; they do not keep a tape.
  • USAGE sits top-left. The charts are smooth.
  • Ping sits with FPS, in ms.
  • Home scrolls. Click the dim to close How to Play, What's New, or Usage.
  • Trefoil is the race card on home, with 5 recent races. Recent runs sit below Chaos.
  • The ship no longer cuts a hole in the coast line.
  • Empty boxes in game text are gone.
  • Spin, speed, and the map edge clamp. One address cannot flood the server.

Here's a test of a link directly to a recent run I did:

I got 956 / 61.25s / 53.1s fuel on Slingshot in Slingshot Speeders! https://slingshotspeeders.com/?r=1174

Two things I'll fix. It seems like going back to home after a replay keeps you stuck on that link. Also the only way to get the link is to copy it after you do a run, when you should be able to get and share the link at any time. That'll be one of the next things I work on in the future. But as for now the v0.0.7 is stable and should be running much smoother.
