Hello everyone !
Today is announcement day !
So, because many people asked me because I think than some of you are wondering, I wanted to explain what are these version numbers. Because it doesn't mean a lot, these are just numbers increasing with time. Do they really have a meaning ?
The answer is no !
So that's all. That's just for fun. Thanks for reading and enjoy the game !
It actually has a meaning.
Now that the joke is over, let's get straight to the point.
These are three version numbers (the three first numbers) and the build version number.
What do they mean ?
extremely_major_version.major_version.minor_version.build_number
The extremely major version is something I only change when there are huge improvements and huge changements. Let's say, I rework the whole code, I redo all the systems, from the little movement system to the huge maze generation system (it actually is the little maze generation system and the little movement system, but please let me think one of them is huge), I would increase it.
The major version concerns all the major changes. I reworked the movement system ? Major change. When I feel like there some important changes, I increase this number.
The minor version almost always concern minor improvements and bug fixes. Nothing more, nothing less.
And the build version is just to know when it has been built. The 0.7.0.0820 version has been built Sunday, August 20, 2017 Paris time. August 2017 = 08. The thing will become weird when I'll build something during the 2018 year. It won't restart, otherwise I'd be able to have two builds with the same number. And I don't want to do that. It will keep increasing. The first two numbers (0 and 8) are the number of months since January 2017. So, let's assume I build something Wednesday, March 14, 2018, the build version will not be 0314 but 1514 ! I hope it's clear enough.
That's all. Now you can understand why there are these strange version numbers. But remember : you shouldn't take care of them : always keep the game up-to-date, these numbers are solely for me to track the changes into the game.
