Settings has a Music folder row. A folder with subfolders is played as
soundtracks: Next picks a random subfolder and a random song in it, the
subfolder is the answer's soundtrack and the file name without its type the
song. The inspiration list and Search show the subfolders.
A folder with songs and no subfolders is a prepared quiz, played once in order
(natural sort) or at random, showing only the song title. It has no winning
score: after the last song Next becomes Show winner, and the players with the
most points win, ties included.
While a folder is used nothing but the characters is asked from the server:
Sync, QR, Statistics, the update check and play counting are off. Characters
fall back to the cached pictures when the server can't be reached. mp3, ogg and
wav play; other files and broken ones are skipped.
The old local playback code, the hidden Open button and the hidden Local toggle
are removed. Next now waits for the song to start before preparing the next one.
- A Quiz settings button under the player bar opens a small card above
it with the quiz settings, including Auto repeat, which moves there
from under the player bar. The card does not dim the quiz, so it can
be changed during a song, and grows to fit its rows.
- A Settings button in the top bar opens the application settings:
server, fullscreen and songs to download ahead. Quick sync is gone,
as the server no longer has it, and the server list is in Settings.
- Labels use sentence case, and seconds to hide show as whole numbers.
- Debug builds switch to the local server and a low winning score in
the Settings autoload, before any scene asks the server for anything.
The DEBUG label moves to the top bar, so it shows on every tab.
- Search moves from the top bar back to the quiz toolbar, as the
Statistics tab has its own search.
Character select
- A card only picks its character when it is clicked. Before, every card
watched every click, so clicking below the panel could pick a card
scrolled out of view there.
- Six columns of fixed-size cards that scroll for any number of
characters, with a gap between the cards and the scrollbar.
- Pictures are read as PNG, JPG or WebP by their first bytes, so JPGs no
longer print an error. Names are split into words ("Paper Mario") and
the card under the mouse is highlighted.
Shortcuts
- Alt+Z restarts the song; it was listed as "Reset".
- Grouped by what the keys do, in sentence case, and the panel fits the
list. A test checks that every button shortcut is listed.
Log
- Scrolls to the newest row, alternates row colours and says "Nothing
has happened yet" when empty.
QR
- A title, and the code is set up in one place.
The Winner popup now shows every player's score after each song as a
step line, with the winning score marked, and three facts under it: the
longest streak, the longest standstill and the song most players scored
on. The data comes from the points each song already records, through
the new ScoreHistory. The popup grows to 1600x920 with the graph across
the full width, so a 60-song game with five players stays readable.
Reset points now starts a new game: it clears the points on the songs
and the graph starts after the song that was playing. Songs already on
the server at startup count as an earlier game.
The screenshot tour has a long five-player game, and only the Winner
popup differs from before.
