Update v039 - Online leaderboard, start screen, and credits


Online leaderboard is here!

I've been working hard last week figuring out how I could add a "simple" online leaderboard feature. No signup. No personal data registered. Only your name, and your highest score are registered once you reach the end of the game. Really excited to so how far you can go.

Additionally there a couple of new stuff as well coming with this new version of the game. Here is a complete list of all changes this update includes:

New screens

  • Start screen


Very basic start screen. Your best time is shown as well as your player name.

You can edit your player name by pressing the E keyboard key. L will bring you to the leaderboard screen (see below) and C to the credits one (see also below).

  • Leaderboard

This is a very basic leaderboard feature. It saves your player name and current highscore which are sent to the server and ordered by the lowest one first. You can scroll down/up this screen to see all scores. You can also view it online here: https://sleepingpanda.games/dashosaur - it's a very basic website for now, but I'll tweak it a bit later when I find time.

Don't pay too much attention to these highscores.. I put some placeholders for the screenshot. I used some famous dinosaur names. Let me know if you can recognize them all, haha.

  • Change Player's name screen

This screen now appears directly after the loading screen so that players can enter their names.

Player name will be used to save player's highscore on the online leaderboard. If you don't want to set a name, you can simply quit this screen. However we don't collect any personal data. We only store your entered name and highscore in our database - which is securely hosted in my OVH server.

  • Credits

Scroll up/down to view all credits content.

New controls

  • Press G keyboard key to disable/enable screen shakes;

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a small visual glitch where player appeared to be floating in the air on start of each levels;
  • Fixed several line height bugs on text objects appearing in Firefox;

This might be one of the last update for the game. It sure is a small one, but that's how I wanted it so I changed its status to "Released". I may release small updates with some bugfixes later, but that's it for now. I'll continue working on my main game Baby Dino Adventures (and more precisely its upcoming content update: World 3) in the near future.

Thanks for passing by and your interests in my games.

Love,
