I made a lot of changes on the server, to be more consistent through all computers and be more reactive, but the most part was to be able to have the Daily Maps !
You can now play on Daily Maps, which will reset every 24 hours, and access Replays of the 7 past daily maps !
I also changes some UI colors, texts, but I will make improvements to the UI for the next update!
Have fun with the Daily Maps, I hope I can give you access to the next updates more quickly than this last one, which was quite difficult and took a long time to implement!
There is now 9 planets in total
You can go in the options if you want to play Anonymously. It will pick a random Cosmic object for you !
Now the public game is hosted on a server the scores will be checked by it.
I also reworked the physics to make it more deterministic and not vary from one PC to another.
