Alpha 11.0.0


This is a pretty big update. So first thing to note is that it's been a while! If you're still interested in the project (or if you're new) thanks for taking a look.

Changes

  • Removal (potentially temporary) of the Gate part. It just doesn't feel as nice to work with or as elegant, so I've removed it and its puzzles for now. If it returns it'll be reworked.
  • Fleshed out the levels involving color / material composition. It's now introduced at Level 4, and Level 5 has a brand new part and contains some of the more advanced puzzles so far.
  • Addition of the "Objectives" tab. This is still a very big work in progress and is only mostly implemented up to puzzles in level 3, due to me needing to figure out how I want to display color information. Once I figure out how exactly I want to do that I'll be updating again.
  • Addition of the screenshot tool. I'm very happy about this one. A lot of puzzle solutions are too big to fit on the screen. Press F11 at any time to save a rendered screenshot to your hard drive. They are saved to %localappdata%/Pipe_Hero_Infinite/screenshots/.

Ideally I'll have a sandbox / puzzle creator up and running sometime soon so that puzzles can be created and shared easily. That'll probably be after a few other changes I plan to make, though.

I'm working on adding more puzzles and parts, and hopefully soon some nice background music. As well as a ton of quality of life changes that I hope to include (undo/redo, select, copy and paste, etc). I'm also doing some math about what you can and can't calculate in the game as of now: it seems that the set of reals you can compute is (on an unbounded board) exactly the set of algebraic numbers. If you can come up with a way to compute any transcendental I'd love to hear it. Alternatively, if you can come up with an elegant part design that would extend the set of numbers we can compute, that'd also be welcome.

In any case I hope you enjoy the new content! It's been a long time in the making and there will be more very soon.
