About PalmPulus

Updates Description


3.1 (09/14/07)
- upgraded the ergonomics of navigating throug the game board: a new navigation button in the center of the moving arrows allows to center the display on the flag, thus replacing the previous [to Flag] button which was changed to put the flag in the center of the displayed area of the game board
- added one-handed navigation feature
- corrected a bug in the high score algorythm, you could get a great high score when giving up a game; now giving up a game means no high score calculation at all
- did a few refinings and enhancements in the algorythms of the computer players
- merged the two help files, main help and tutorial, in one common user manual, and upgraded the help accordingly to the new features added in this version

3.0 (11/03/04)
- grass has been split into 2 successive status: grass and then wheat. The buildings start to develop only at the wheat stage. The game became much more challenging with this change!
- added a 3rd computer player, only available on color enabled devices
- added a new sand ground type, which is unfertile ground that needs to be turned to fertile soil by your people
- the Grass Spell was changed to Sand Spell and it puts some unfertile sand squares now instead of just removing random grass or the new wheat squares
- upgraded the artificial intelligence of computer players so as to get them to be a little bit smarter
- added a High Score table to help you track your progress and your luck over time!
- spells buttons are shown only when the mana level has reached the level required to cast a given spell
- removed the onboard help because it was a huge pain to maintain both this documentation abstract software and the full PDF help documentation (also because many users told me that they never installed nor did they refer to this onboard help program!)

2.0 (10/28/03)
- people (that is peasants, soldiers and knights) are now animated, you know which direction they are going to
- more realistic move switch of people: for example a peasant initially moving East will not switch directly to West, he will first move North or South, unless he was told to do so for a specific action like move to flag or attack. This avoids people from moving back and forth in a small area!
- new zoom map layout, allowing to see 16 x 10 cells in addition to the standard 8 x 5 cells layout and the full zoomed map
- PalmPulus can now launch directly the PalmPulus on board Help program and, vice versa, you can directly go back in your PalmPulus game from the PalmPulus on board Help and launch PalmPulus from the on board help
- merged the black & white and color versions for easier install on any device
