  1. MouseOver ‘TableView5’ bug correction.
  2. Upgraded the Delete HighScore Board txt animation. (Py Module with logic bricks now running the text).
  3. Py module with logic bricks now runs & updates the User Guide text pages.
  4. Multiplexed more of the Txt DMD animation by re-using the Qtext1 object & upgraded the Jackpot animations.
  5. Py code doing more work for the Queuetext feature, as a result queue text logic bricks reduced.
  6. Changed the property X_Movement_Inc to Z_Movement_Inc (terminology update) in the DropTarget txt animation py module code.
  7. Ani Bumper Txt animation .py code will now randomise one of the following scroll routes during game play: Left_OverScrlTxtCntr, Right_OverScrlTxtCntr, OneOff_Right_LeftTxtCntr, OneOff_Left_RightTxtCntr & Ani_Action actuator.
  8. In action .py code removed the text locPosition code which is over ruled by the Action actuator.
  9. Property name convention updates in the .py module text ani code. (which makes it easier to understand when revisiting the code!).

Notes

  1. In ‘Game Play Camera Mode’ under ‘Viewport Shading’ check that the ‘Scene Lights’ check box has been checked : else the lights will not function.
  2. In Edit / Preferences / Addons check Game Engine Logic Nodes. Else ball trailer nodes will not run.

Load the game using UPBGE 0.3. The Game mode will show first. Out of Edit Mode Press ‘P’ or standalone start to get it up & running. Keyboard instruction will appear & the rest is all down to the user.

Please enjoy & rob what you can from it if you wish.
