The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[1.6.3] - 2024-12-27

Fixed

  • The make_decisions_random property is now correctly initialized.

[1.6.2] - 2024-12-07

Fixed

  • Alerts are now shown even if they’re created from the web worker. In particular, bot exception alerts are now visible.

[1.6.1] - 2024-11-16

Added

  • The GameCanvas has a new draw_rectangle method which can fill/stroke a given rectangle.

[1.6.0] - 2024-11-15

Added

  • You may now pause in make_decisions to let the bots pause the simulation in interesting frames!

  • You may now use the download_image method instead of download_images to download a single image.

Changed

  • No UI simulations are now non-verbose by default, meaning alerts shouldn’t be shown and sounds are not played (unless the new force parameter is specified).

Fixed

  • Canvas dimensions are now slightly improved.

  • Documentation of web-only methods is now accurate by using functools.wraps.

[1.5.8] - 2024-11-14

Fixed

  • Logs added immediately one after another now correctly added.

  • Peer dependency on dayjs now specified correctly.

[1.5.7] - 2024-11-12

Fixed

  • If the simulation randomness seed is set to “-” it still succeeds.

  • useLocalStorage now updates falsy variables.

  • Log viewer now doesn’t reset all of the time.

[1.5.6] - 2024-11-08

Fixed

  • Second simulation not working because start button would not bind to Python simulation start.

  • Running simulation files which were generated locally now works because previous they did not have the correct _logs.

[1.5.5] - 2024-11-08

Added

  • Support for output file in the CLI.

[1.5.4] - 2024-11-08

Fixed

  • Random differs on the browser (pyodide) and local (python) because of floating point stuff.

[1.5.3] - 2024-11-08

Fixed

  • Infinite loop of is_web.

[1.5.2] - 2024-11-08

Fixed

  • The CLI now works again and supports the new randomness seed option and execution from a file.

[1.5.1] - 2024-11-07

Fixed

  • Log function now automatically casts to str if text is not a string.

  • Logs are now persistent across rerenders, instead of previously being unstable.

  • Round page fixes.

[1.5.0] - 2024-11-07

Added

  • Simulation files are now seeded.

  • When running a simulation, you may now choose a specific randomness seed.

Changed

  • You should now use self.make_decisions_random for any randomness usage in make_decisions.

  • The random global for bots is now a seeded pseudorandom generator initialized from the simulation seed by default (this can be customized with configure_bot_globals).

  • You should now use self.random to make your game deterministic for a given seed.

Fixed

  • Running N times now resets the Results to make sure the alert at the end is of exactly N times.

[1.4.0] - 2024-11-06

Breaking Changes

  • You must now add @mantine/dropzone to your dependencies.

Added

  • You can now download and upload simulation files. You may also use configure_version to invalidate previous simulation files, and choose a custom name for your main class (inheriting from CodeBattles) so your website can check that simulation files are of your game.

  • You may now specify a varying render rate with configure_render_rate for render-intensive code battle games.

  • The web worker rendering time is now shown.

Changed

  • The error when play_sound fails is now more readable.

Fixed

  • The canvas dimensions in showcase mode are now more accurate (with regard to the height).

[1.3.0] - 2024-11-01

Breaking Changes

  • You must now add the following to your index.html inside body:

    <script
  type="py"
  src="/scripts/main.py"
  config="/config.json"
  worker
  name="worker"
></script>

Added

  • The make_decisions method is now called in a web worker and the entire game is able to be rendered before playing. If a frame’s decisions hadn’t been made and the user tries to play, the browser will sleep until it’s ready (currently a fixed amount of time).

  • The GameCanvas has a new draw_line method which can draw a given line.

[1.1.0] - 2024-10-21

Added

  • You can now configure the globals given to each bot (e.g. time, math, random, etc.) with configure_bot_globals().

  • You may now also specify extra width with configure_extra_width which works similarly to configure_extra_height.

  • The GameCanvas has a new draw_circle method which can fill/stroke a given circle.

[1.0.0] - 2024-09-27

Added

  • The Python library and pdoc template are now part of the library.

  • There is a new vite plugin to include the Python library, update PyScript configuration etc. named vite-plugin-code-battles.

  • The documentation now also has a reference of the Python library.

  • Breaking changes will now be versioned correctly.
