📦 0.23.0 - Fixing movement bugs in bot APIs - 29-Apr-2024

🪲 Bug Fixes

  • Bot API:
    • #80: Fixed a major bug causing the body, gun, and radar to move in a wrong angle, which could be seen with
      the Walls sample bot.
    • #85: Fixed a major bug in server.rules.math::calcNewBotSpeed. Thanks goes to Mark (mnbrandl) for fixing this! 😊
  • Server:
    • #83: Bots receives skipped-turn-event events while dead.

🚀 Improvements

  • Bot API:
    • Extended the GameStartedEvent with the InitialPosition property containing the starting position and shared
      direction of the body, gun, and radar. This helped on fixing #80
    • Renamed the "Angle" property of InitialPosition to "Direction".
