Snake4J 2.0.0-beta

The snake's repairSegment method has been declared as complete, but will be monitored for problematic repairs. The repairAfterRemoval method has been finished, but like snake's repairSegment it will be monitored for problematic repairs. For both instances, please report problematic repairs (with screenshots) to the issues page with the title "Snake Repair: xyz", with "xyz" standing in for a summary of the issue with the snake's problematic repair. The snake's resetFailCount method has become a public method as opposed to a protected method. Additionally, pausing the game now resets the snake's fail count, so as to be more fair to the player. There was a bug in previous 2.0.0 pre-releases where the row and column count did not load from the config on startup.

Snake4J 2.0.0-alpha.1 release

This version fixes a bug introduced when saving the size that didn't check if the window was maximized, resulting in the program starting maximized. This also added location and high score to the settings that are saved, along with making it so that the game pauses when the game window loses focus.

Snake4J 2.0.0-alpha release

Snake4J version 1.1.0 has been elevated from a minor release to a major release and become version 2.0.0. This alpha version introduces a way to save settings between instances of the program. Some more pre-release versions may be coming out at some point.

Snake4J 1.1.0-alpha release

An alpha release of the upcoming 1.1.0 version of my Snake4J program. This new version allows for setting the colors (currently does not persist between instances) and more debug features. There is also a fix for the snake controls which makes snakes more responsive. Planned features for the 1.1.0 release are finishing repair functionality and the addAll method for snakes, and the addition of a settings file so that the program can save your settings. A second player mode is planned, though not guaranteed for the 1.1.0 release.

Edit: Just a quick update that just moves the resume button onto a separate row from the start button. I had forgotten to do that before creating this release.

Snake4J v1.0.0 Initial Release

The initial release. Finally this is being released. The Snake class is still only 97.5% complete, with repairing the snake, removing tiles, and adding a collection of tiles not fully yet complete. Minimum version of Java required is Java 11.
