Changelog

v1.3.2

• Fixes + Polish:
  • [Vita] Fixed a save data bug
  • [Vita, Wii U] Fixed the Touch Screen option being missing from the Controls menu
  • [PC, Linux] Adjusted keyboard input so it works as intended on non-Windows machines

v1.3.1

• In case you missed it:
  • The following new ports were retroactively added to v1.3, but are included from the start in this release: Wii, Gamecube, Linux, and FunKey.
  • SuDokuL is now fully compatible with SDL1.
• New Additions:
  • Added Frame Rate setting; this game can already run fine at max framerate on all systems, but a lower framerate could result in better battery life on handhelds.
  • Enabled VSync.
  • [WII] Added analog input for Classic Controller.
  • [Wii] Onscreen cursor now rotates with Wii Remote accelerometer.
• Fixes + Polish:
  • Removed Integer Scale setting; this was already unused on consoles, and recent changes made it redundant on PC.
  • Increased minimum outline size for header text and grid numbers; this makes resolutions below 480p more readable.
  • Rearranged some text for 1:1 screens.
  • Polish and code cleanup.
  • [PC] Key to toggle fullscreen has been changed from F to F11 or R3 on controller.
  • [PC] Removed the dividers on the Controls screen (they were already removed from consoles, might as well make it consistent).
  • [Wii] Adjusted controls; Start/+ is now always Pause.
  • [Wii] Fixed pointer controls bring inaccurate at certain resolutions.
  • [Gamecube, FunKey] Fixed a minor bug in the Controls menu.
  • [Vita, Wii U, Switch, FunKey] Increased default background size.
  • [FunKey] Fixed the background direction being incorrect for some angles.

v1.3

• Added save data support; quit a game and come back to it later!
• Added a new cheat: Press B then Y (or Backspace then Period on keyboard) four times to clear all mistakes.
• Added Native screen scaling options that can match either your entire screen or a specific aspect ratio.
• Added 7 new background patterns.
• Added one new song.
• Added support for 1:1 displays at resolutions of 240x240 and above.
  • Also removed 21:9 option; you can still use the new Native setting to achieve this.
• All game assets are now compiled into the executable, meaning fewer files to manage and faster initial load times on consoles.
• Cheats can now be accessed on mouse/touch-only devices by tapping the first (for cheat 1) or second (for cheat 2) icon on the sidebar eight times.
• In addition to pressing R like before, you can now also change the current song by tapping the third icon on the sidebar three times.
• Lots of polish and code cleanup.
• Updated SDL2 on all systems.
• [PSP] Reduced font size at full resolution (it looks cleaner).
• [Wii U] Now supports up to 1080p thanks to recent SDL2 updates.
• [Wii U] Added WHUB to release.

v1.2

• Ported to PSP. Not sure if this works on a real PSP-1000 (the model with less RAM). It should work - it runs in PPSSPP set to PSP-1000 mode - but I haven't tested it myself on a real 1000 model.
• Added integer scaling option (enabled by default) for resolutions that are smaller than the actual screen resolution.
  • This replaces the old Fullscreen menu option (PC users can still toggle fullscreen by pressing F).
  • This does nothing on Android since the Android version always runs at native resolution; instead, Android gets a toggle for showing/hiding the top status bar.
• When using a resolution that's smaller than the screen's resolution, the window is now rendered to the center of the screen, meaning consoles can now make better use of smaller resolutions.
  • This does not work on PSP since its version of SDL_RenderSetViewport() doesn't work properly.
  • (Suggestion for handheld Switch and Wii U gamepad users - try setting the resolution to 720p/480p resolution respectively with integer scaling turned off for (very close to) native resolution on handheld. Widescreen 240p also looks great on these systems).
• Added a loading screen upon booting the game instead of staying on a blank screen until everything is loaded.
• Added 240p, 272p, and 544p logos so the logo now looks clearer on those displays (like the Vita).
• Added a few more resolution options.
• Adjusted grid number positions on Vita so they don't bleed into the grid.
• Fixed a bug involving mouse/touch controls when used alongside button controls.
• Fixed the background randomly jumping around upon loading a puzzle.
• Pressing L/R to change songs now saves the current song setting.
• The controls screen now properly reflects swapped Confirm/Back buttons.
• Reduced number of button presses required for the cheat from 10 to 8.
• A lot of other polish/minor bug fixes.
