What’s new in The Magic Candle v1.0.2
THE MAGIC CANDLE - CHANGELOG
v1.0.2 (September 6, 2026)
+ Click-to-travel: click any reachable hex or place and the company walks there by the quickest road, one hex at a time, stopping for encounters, arrival at a place, exhaustion or the candle. A Stop here button (Route band) halts the walk; any manual move cancels it.
+ Hover preview: pointing at a hex draws the route and the caption names the place or terrain and estimates the time (hours or days).
+ The route in progress is drawn on the map with the hexes left to go.
See patch_v1.0.2.txt.
v1.0.1 (September 6, 2026)
+ World map pan and zoom: mouse wheel and pinch zoom about the cursor (0.5x to 4x), drag to pan, + / - / 0 keys, and a Map band with Zoom in, Zoom out and Centre on company.
+ Satellite-style world map: shaded relief, forest canopy, marsh pools, shallows and beach rims, roads drawn as tracks, towns as roof clusters. Painted once per zoom level into an offscreen sheet.
+ Information column on the left (candle, company, gold and rations, roster book, rite), control column on the right; phone layout below 1100 px.
+ Hex coordinates in the map caption; in-game help covers arrows, Escape and the map controls.
* ResizeObserver loop error: repaints are coalesced into one animation frame instead of running inside the observer.
* The offscreen map sheet is capped at 8192 device pixels a side; at 4x zoom on a 2x display it would otherwise have exceeded browser canvas limits and drawn nothing.
* A mis-aimed spell no longer costs energy.
* Overview map labels no longer shrink below 11 px.
See patch_v1.0.1.txt.
v1.0.0 (September 5, 2026)
+ Initial Tronsoft Games release.
+ Hex-mapped kingdom of Corvane with six towns and five ruins, generated from a seed.
+ Company of up to six from ten recruits; work, study, wages and the roster book.
+ Turn-based battles with initiative order, spells and herbs; automatic resolution.
+ The Rite of Renewing: four verses, four sages, twenty-four orders.
+ Three candle lengths; autosave after every action; resume from the title screen.
+ Procedural sound with a toggle.
