version 0.11 - Go For The Gold!


Biggest new feature is FC display. I mentioned on the previous version FCs were getting tracked and saved, well now they also show up on the main menu. Unlike Rock Band and Guitar Hero, FCs are saved for every difficulty. Expert FCs are displayed by a Gold Record while other FCs are displayed in Silver. On the score screen there is just some text "[fc]" as placeholder. The score screen needs to be updated completely so all of it is placeholder for now. Plus I'd like to display more stats that are recorded but not shown yet. 


When playing random I realized  I sometimes had to wait a while to recognize the song playing - some songs take a while to start up and many songs start off with the lyrics "oooh" and "awe, so I've added song title and artist display at the beginning of the track. This only shows up on random but speeds up gameplay greatly because you can decide whether to play or skip the current song faster. 

I also added the high score under the current score as a negative number. As the score goes up so does the high score, counting down how many more points are needed to reach the old score. It also helps identify if a song has been played before during random play, if there is no score, then the song has never been played.

I did a few other fixes like the charter icon not updating correctly when coming in from certain screens in certain conditions. Lyrics also now pop up a little sooner so it's more comfortable to read in sync with the song. 

I also refactored some code, eliminated many global instances and split up some classes to have better defined purpose.

Lastly, the download links for the sample library and the workflow for converting went missing and I hadn't noticed. If you attempted to download these in the past and couldn't, they are available again.
