Hi all,

Another tarsweeper update just came out. This time the drawing routines were optimised. The game used to perform a full redraw each time that a quit was neglected and when a new game was neglected. These have simply been removed.

Other new feature: Hilghlighting works again. For a while, surrounding tiles were not properly highlighted. Now they turn white. This should make the dreaded diagonals off of ones slightly easier to spot.

A WIP: (hopefully soon) Yall will be able to easily contribute to tarsweeper yourselves. If someone wants to make a "flashlight" mode, or add levels beyond 5 you can (soon). This will be done under a git repo. You can find it on Github, under my account ("Tartarus6") as "Tarsweeper". You can push changes to the "public-testing" branch (somehow having the changes reflect on a "testsweeper" game on the BBS [maybe it'd be done through just the FTP server, idk]) and make a pull request to the main branch when your changes work. After the code gets reviewed, the request can be confirmed and tarsweeper will have been automatically (once sysop sets it up) updated on the BBS.


If yall have complaints, such as the highlighted boxes being ugly, please throw them my way. Ill keep working to improve tarsweeper.

Thats all,
