Magic Cube

Make the 3x3 and 4x4 Diamond meshes smaller.

Finally remove cubit creation from the implementation classes and move it to the TwistyObject.

Convert the last object, Skewb Ultimate, to the new scheme.

Convert the two Squares to the new scheme.

Convert Skewb to the new scheme. New smaller mesh for the Master Skewb.

Convert Rex Cube to the new scheme.

Convert Redi Cube to the new scheme.

Convert Pyraminx to the new scheme. Make Pyra4 and Pyra5 meshes much smaller.

Convert Megaminx to the new scheme.

New, smaller Master Kilominx mesh.

Move 1) Jing 2) Kilominx to the new cubit creation scheme.
Make the Master Kilominx mesh a bit smaller.

Move 1) Helicopter 2) Ivy to the new cubit creation scheme.

Move 1) bandaged 3x3 2) normals cubes 3) octahedrons 4) both dinos to the new cubit creation scheme.

Important step towards making the implementation of an individual puzzle code-free (i.e. data-only): move the 'MeshBase[] mMeshes' variable from the individual classes to the parent TwistyObject.

Make the Kilominx cubit creation a bit more standard.

Introduce ObjectShape - a class encapsulating a shape of a Cubit.
Make the Megaminx cubit creation a bit more standard.

Minor.

COnvert the last object, the Rex cube, to the new cubit creation scheme. Provide the new Rex mesh.

New Ivy mesh.

Convert the Ivy corner cubit to the new, 'universal' cubit creation method.

This forces deep changes to 'createRoundSolid' and the underlying 'MeshPolygon' class to make them support arbitrary Polygon 'centers of face convexity'.

Reason: the faces of this cubit are concave and such default 'center of face convexity' (which by default used to be (0,0)) turned to lie outside the face - which produces strange visual artifacts.

Corrections for the Bandaged cubit creation.

Convert bandaged Cubes to the standard mesh creation code.

Move the TwistyObject.retCubePosition() to the solver.

Standarize drawing stickers of a twisty puzzle. From now on, there's no 'sticker drawing' code in the individual classes, only some constants.

Use a trick to avoid having to correct the center sticker of the Kilominx.

Convert the last 'special' case, the Rex edge sticker, to the generic sticker mechanism.

New sticker mechanism: improvements for concave stickers.

Convert the Rex corner sticker to the new mechanism.

Remove debugging.

Generalize FactorySticker - make it possible to draw stickers whose sides are curved.
Convert the Ivy to use this new functionality.

Make the Pyraminxes a bit bigger by default - improvement.

Make the Pyraminxes a bit bigger by default.

Minor.

Finish implementing Jing's 'isSolved'

Add Master FTO's inventor and name.

TwistyObject's ObejctScreenRatio and InitScreenRatio shouldn't be static. Make them non-static.
Otherwise, if the current object is, say, a cube (initSR=0.5), we fire up tutorials and start a tutorial for something with vastly different ObjectScreenRatio (Jing- initSR=1.64), then come back to the Main Activity - so there's a cube on the screen again - the ratios stay at their Jing values, which screws up detection of rotations.

Bump version to 1.8.5

New Jing and Master FTO tutorials.

Master FTO: icons

Master FTO: mesh

Add Master FTO.

New 'JingPyraminx' object - icons once more.

New 'JingPyraminx' object - add the icons.

New 'JingPyraminx' object - add the mesh.

New 'JingPyraminx' object - improvements. The object should be working now.

New 'JingPyraminx' object - improvements

New 'JingPyraminx' object - improvement.

New 'JingPyraminx' object.

Again abandon RubikControl (after bumping into hard-to-solve issues)

Improve debugging in BlockController.

add possible scrolling to the 'object' popup in case the grid of objects does not fit on the screen.

Progress with RubikControl.

Lots of changes :)

Bugfix

When we're leaving the Tutorial activity, unblock everything.

Make it impossible to launch more than one Tutorial screen at a time.

Progress with RubikControl.

BlockController: Unblock after 3 seconds.

up library versions.

Up version to 1.8.4

Fix the long-standing problem that putting app to the background would not stop the 'solving' counter.

Fix the reddening the Lock icon.

Fix a rare crash.

Introduce a BlockController - a watchdog which makes sure the Touch and UI blocks do not take too long.
If it detecs a long block, it unblocks and reports the situation to Crashylytics.

Add a 'give up' dialog - if one made at least 10 moves when solving and presses a 'back' button, one needs to confirm.

Always set the back move icon when we clear moves

Give visual indication when dragging is locked.

Change the 'Cube Back' icon when there are no moves to back.

Abstract the part that controls the 'Locked' and 'Back Moves' buttons from the two activities: the main one and the tutorial one.
This code had been duplicated there.

Add flag of Botswana.

New Kilominx mesh.

Important bugfix: no we cannot unblock touch when WIN effect finishes, because

1) starting the WIN effect does not block touch in the first place
2) it can happen that this unblocking happens when we have started finishing the rotation but haven't removed it yet...

Corrections for the new Pyraminx5 patterns.

We've got lots of bugfixes, some 400 new Pretty Patterns.

Bump version to 1.8.3

Update the Pyraminx5 pretty patterns.

New Megaminx & Gigaminx pretty patterns.

Convert the move format to one which can hold moves of the Megaminx and Gigaminx (in preparation for introduction of the Mega& Gigaminx Pretty Patterns)
Now we use 2 bits for the angle, 3 bits for the axis and 5 bits for the bitmap of layers. This totals 10 bits so 1024, but the whole thing will not spill over 3 digits, because in the Minxes we have total of 6 axis, not 8.

Workaround for a crash.

Correct the Redmi mesh to eliminate the visible seams.

Correct the dino mesh to eliminate the visible seams.

Correct rotations of the Cube - eliminate one cse when four consecutive rotations collapse into one or a NOP.

Correct rotations of the Pyraminx - eliminate one cse when three consecutive rotations collapse into one.

Separate the notion of maxLevel (in DB) [which has to stay backwards-compatible with previous versions of the app] and 'numScrambles' - the number of times an objects gets scrambled in the 'full scramble' mode. Now the second can be whatever we want without breaking backwards compatibility.

Minor.

Minor.

Improve scrambling of the Minx'es and the Redi, which in full scramble mode were frequently leaving large corners unscrambled.

Preparation for 'smart scrambling' : introduce the total number of scrambles to the 'randomizeNewScramble' function.

Minor.

Correct the way we overlay our (possibly) better local (i.e. unsubmitted yet or submitted, but not picked up by the 'clean_db' cron job) records on top of the DB records ini the 'Scores' dialog.

Fix the fact that in the last, 'Full Scramble' level, it wouldn't switch on the green light.

Minx'es: fix for the automatic rotations.

Minx'es: fix for the automatic rotations.

Square-2: correct detecting the solved state.

Backing moves: constant angle speed (part 2).

Backing moves: constant angle speed.

Squares: add tutorials.
Correct the order of objects in the tutorial dialog.

Squares: add meshes.
Bump version to 1.8.2

Square-2: minor.

Squares: icons.

Square-2 fix.
