FIRMWARE UPDATE VERSION 1.1 for SHENZHEN I/O is now live!
NEW CONTENT
- Added the FM/iX "FM BLASTER", an FM-based synthesizer with one voice and ten instruments, available in the sandbox.
- Added a ¥0 "note" part that can be placed anywhere in a design to write additional documentation.
NEW FEATURES
- Pin names are now shown for all pins when tab (show traces) is held.
- Added Steam achievements to the game related to solitaire and the secret puzzle.
- Improved the appearance of histograms, especially low-value production cost histograms.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for the playback controls: space is bound to simulate and pause, E is bound to step, D is bound to advance, and escape is bound to reset.
- The current code line indicator now fades slightly when that microcontroller is sleeping.
- In custom LCD screens, a very light gray color can now be used to connect two segments together without the line gray showing up as an actual segment.
BALANCE FIXES
- Most parts are now unlocked at the start of the game but "soft-locked" to discourage inexperienced players from using them prematurely and getting stuck.
- Changed the behavior of the dst instruction when one or both operands (acc and the new digit) are negative. The new behavior is symmetric with dgt, setting a digit and the sign of the accumulator separately as specified by the "new digit" operand.
- Modified the "pocket I Ching oracle" puzzle to provide more room for player designs.
- Modified the test cases for the "aquaponics maintenence robot", "spoiler blocking headphones", "personal sandwich assembler", and "precision food scale" puzzles.
- Changed the order of a few mid-game puzzles based on feedback about their difficulty.
- Added a visualization for input to a certain puzzle that needed it.
BUG FIXES
- It is now an error to define the same label twice in a single microcontroller.
- It is no longer an error to block without sleeping in the sandbox.
- Music is no longer played while a design in the prototyping area is running. Go make your own!
- Fixed a bug where histograms wouldn't update when returning to the conceptMAIL or conceptCAD menus.
