Weekly development report 2025/01/04

Welcome to the first weekly development report in 2025. :) And the stable version of the game returned to its normal, quiet state. No new problems noticed, so nothing new to report here. I was busy with playing with the development version of the game.

The development version of the game continues its journey forward, with some visible for everyone changes too:

• Again, several the game's icons got updated their colors to match the whole game style. And there is still several icons to update, so please expect similar report in the next week. :)
• The work on the new UI for the game continues. I'm still at drawing the main game's map. I think I finally found the proper way to do it. ;) There is still some work to finish, but generally I'm starting to like the new version a bit more. :) Additionally, I optimized the new UI a bit and made it more responsible to the player's actions. Plus some under-the-hood work done with the library used in the new UI.
• And standard footer: some code cleanup, refactoring, etc. things in the old version of the game's UI. At least now around 75% of this task is done. ;)
