Weekly development report 2025/03/22

Welcome to the last entry that brings something new before the next big version of the game. The next entries will be even more similar to each other, as my tradition of working on the game dictates. ;) As in the previous weeks, so also in this, most of the time was spent working with the new UI. But also in the old UI appeared new things:

• In the new UI, work on the map has been completed for now. Most things are in place, besides, I will still need to refine a few details. At the moment, work is underway on the combat screen between the ships. As usual, the beginning is difficult, so not too much has been done here this week. In addition, some work was also done on the library used in the new UI.
• Fixed tooltip for Wait button. Now it should correctly show the amount of time that will pass after pressing it. This time can be set in the game options.
• Fixed the player's ship's speed calculation. That mistake was quite interesting. Once it appeared only from time to time, it also required quite a lot of work to repair it, at least in tracking where it is located. ;) But now everything should be back to normal.
• Work on UI for the player's reputation between factions is almost complete. As I predicted, this reputation will not have any impact on the game at the moment. But always something new. :) Only minor changes in the UI and will be completed for now. I'll be back to working on it with the next version of the game.
• And as usual, the old code has been slightly improved, cleaned up, etc. ;)

As mentioned above, because since the last version of the game development has already passed some time, time for another. About 24 hours after this post, it will be available for download. And then 4 weeks of very boring reports will begin. At least, I hope they will be boring. :)
