FMH : Great Success

Huzzah! On Friday the 28th I hit the 1000 active user mark.

That was a long, tiring trip, and a lot of work. More than I would have expected, and there's still tonnes of stuff to do with the app before I'd even consider it finished.

Thanks for all the kind words / twitter RT's / recommendations on twitter, and the really great reviews on Google Play.
1005 on 30th Sept.
HAPPY CRAIG IS HAPPY \o/

More Android Market Stats for FMH

As of 16th Sept 2012
939! So close to my one thousand mark.

It's weird, it's been 5 days since I released 0.68 and I haven't had any time to write any code for FMH. It's not so bad, it's only been five days right? I've been working on the guts of it for so long, that it feels like I'm taking a 5 day holiday - even though I'm working full time.

I do have a 'to do' list though.

Next up are some bugfixes for Ogres which Mr.Vaughan sent in, and also I'm going to look at including a settings page which the user can choose 'stuff' - like text sizes on all the screens, perhaps a default popped open armies from the unit picker, and some default unit choice(s) from the unit picker.

Other suggestions are welcome! @FantasyMathHamr or email to clockworkcraig [at] gmail.com.

FMH 0.68

"We az got da powah now."

Just released to market, it'll be up there soon.
Get V0.68 here.

Thanks to Aussie Gamer Vaughan Keyburn for all his notes on O&G bugs.

O&G bug fixes listed here.

General:
  • Demigryphs armour was  heavy armour, fixed to be full plate armour (and extra point of armour save).
  • Derpy Mounts: I implemented mount attacks in combat in v0.50. Unittests showed that they were totally broken, the mounts would act as their parent unit and just use their stat line when attacking i.e. Demigryph knight mounts would use their knights statline when attacking. Fixed.
    Demigryph's (and other mounts) are a lot better now. Sorry about that.
  • Cavalry Mounts were receiving supporting attacks. Mounts should not get supporting attacks. Fixed.

Ohiohammer app mention


I was interviewed by the awesome Andrew Sherman, of the Ohiohammer podcast, about Fantasy MathHammer! \o/
It starts about 34 mins in. It's a ten minute segment, in which I almost succeed at not sounding like an idiot.
Get it here: Episode 29.

My thanks to Ohiohammer for having me on the show.

If you're not familiar with Ohiohammer, it's a staple of my Warhammer Fantasy podcast regular listening, I thoroughly recommend it. I was hooked from the hilarious "let's roll" intro sound-byte.

FMH - nights of bugfixing

I've been busy.
A rather decent chap in Australia (how cool is that, someone literally around the world is using my app!) sent me a lengthy email detailing a tonne of bugs with O&G.
I fixed the vast majority of them tonight.
A bunch of facepalm type ones, for some reason I had all cavalry as down as 20mm wide. Seems like they're all 25mm wide, there's no such thing as 20mm cav!

There was an almighty bug in the code which determined how many models could attack units of smaller base sizes, with fewer models. This is now fixed, it took a good 5 hours of work to fix this bloody thing. When I fixed trolls attack count, it broke cavalry attack counts. When I fixed those, it broke larger monster attack counts. Thank fark I started implementing unit tests, else I wouldn't have known I'd broken the attack calculator for other units.

That's me, and the demon is the bugs. RAWR.
CHANGE LOG:
New special rules handled:
- Regeneration
- Thick Skinned
- War Paint
- Swarm
- Unit special rules printed in debug logs at start of each combat log

BUGFIX CENTRAL:

  • Mournfang were classed as monstrous cav and on 40mm bases, should have been on 50mm basses. Fixed.
  • Default cavalry base size was 20mm, DERP. Fixed to 25mm.
  • Terradon's were on cav bases, should have been monstrous cav 40mm. Fixed.
  • Demigryphs were on 40mm bases, should have been 50mm (I'm not an Empireplayer!). Fixed.
  • Fixed Pegasus knights, they were on 40mm bases and should have been on 50mm. Mounted Yeomen were classifed as infantry, not cavalry. Fixed.
  • Added more unit tests for monstrous inf vs inf, caught another bug in mathhammer._how_many_can_hit(attacker, defender). Fixed.
  • VC BlackKnights were wrong base size of 20mm, fixed to 25mm.
  • Empire units: Knightly orders, Inner circle knights and Reiksguard Knightswere all using a basesize of 20mm, fixed to 25mm.
  • Fixed issue with monstrous inf getting too few attacks against inf block frontage.
