1.3.0/F-droid: A step backwards about ricochlime

[adil192]

The UI font shouldn't change performance at all. But I'll see if I can make an option in settings for the transition duration

[adil192]

discovered that both the game play and UI were much more sluggish than 1.1.3

I can't think of anything that's changed to affect the game's performance, unless you mean the new page transitions?

even with the original "fuzzy" typeface.

Like the pixelated Silkscreen font, or a rendering issue?

the feature that allows you to restart a game by closing the app and reopening was eliminated (#26)

You can just use the new undo button for this now.
I removed that as part of a larger series of bug fixes because it's a confusing behaviour for the last move to not save

The transition between the landing/home page and the gameplay screen is now extremely slow, you can literally watch the screen painting, maybe 0.5-1.0 seconds to paint the transition to the other screen.

Also seemed to me that the gameplay was more sluggish, but as of the moment on that device I am back to 1.1.3 so I cannot test right now.

There is just one option called "Use the Atkinson Hyperlegible Font", and that is not the default.

On 1.1.3 I tried that setting at the beginning and while the text of course looks better it seemed to run slower like that so I reverted to the default. I tried both in 1.3.0 and there didn't seem to be much performance difference between the two.

OK, as long as that accomlishes the same thing I'm fine with that. I agree it could be confusing (was a bit surprising to me when I first discovered it) but it ended up being one of the most addictive parts of the game for me. 😁

Nonetheless, I think after that last experience I'm going to stick with 1.1.3 for the forseeable future until there seems to be some kind of massive other improvements.

(Caveat: I think I will try 1.3.0 on another, newer device. Perhaps if it runs well there and since that device will eventually/theoretically replace the older one, that may be a workaround for me from the performance standpoint)

Thanks for the reply and interest.
