Engine Upgrade
• Our base engine has been upgraded from Cocos2d-x to Cocos2d-x v.30. This was a fairly massive undertaking. It basically changed how everything in the game was rendered and required a whole lot of the game to be updated and fixed. We have done extensive testing to make sure everything is back working as it should, but this was a changed that touched pretty much everything about how the game was rendered.
Backend Dashboard
• This is something else we have been working on that won't be immediately seen in the game. We have been working on a backend dashboard for teachers & classrooms as we have been getting Contraption Maker into more and more schools. We will have a much more detailed blog post about this soon.

• Snow Wall: Snow walls have more friction than normal walls. Roll a snowball down a snow wall to make it larger.
• Ice Wall: A super slippery wall type.
• Snowball: The snowball is another type of ball with some special behaviors. If it rolls on a snow wall, it will get bigger. Roll one large enough, and it will trap Tim inside of it! If you place a snowball near a heat source, it will start to melt.
• Snowball Pile: This pile of snowballs can only be used by Tim. Set the number of snowballs, and how hard & often Tim will throw them.
New Puzzles
• Our biggest official puzzle update yet! We've added 50 new official puzzles bringing our official puzzle count to 220 total puzzles! This new batch of puzzles has something for everyone, ranging in difficulty from tutorial to super hard. Get out there, start solving them, and share your ridiculous solutions and exploits :-)
Patterned Scenery Parts
• There are now 3 special "primitive scenery parts". The square, circle, and triangle can be colored with a selection of solid colors and repeating patterns. This should allow for all sorts of new creative approaches to contraption backgrounds.
Assorted Fixes

v1.1.2.12:
New Parts
• Zombie Tim: He shuffles around looking for brains, and will follow Tim if he's near. He can turn human Tim into a zombie if he catches him. Being a decaying zombie makes him fairly fragile. He can easily "splat" or "fry" in a bunch of different ways.
• Braaaaiiiins: Zombie Tim loves brains. He will stop chasing Tim if there are bains nearby. There is also a "Tim Part" version of this that must be picked up and dropped by Tim.
• Pumpkins: Use these to decorate, or roll them around your contraptions. You can attach a rope to the top to swing them around. If a pumpkin is hit too hard, it will break.
Guidelines
• This is a nice new feature designed to cut down the amount of times you have to start and stop a puzzle. Now, any lasers or parts that move will show you their trajectory when selected. This means that you can line up lasers exactly where you want before having to run the contraption, fail, and try again!
• Guidelines can be set to passive (shown when a part is selected), active (shown when a part is held), and off. You can adjust the guideline mode in the settings menu.
New Puzzles

• Fixed level manager mutex so multiply levels in separate window never have problems.
• Fixed call to remove part which doesn't need second parameter.

v1.1.1.11:
New Parts
• Tinker: Tinker is the newest addition to Contraption Maker's cast of characters. He loves eating and chasing cats. Attach a leash (rope) to him to control your contraptions in a new way.
• Dozer: All Dozer wants to do is sleep. Like Steve the Crocodile, Dozer doesn't move. If something falls on his back, they will bounce off of him like a trampoline. Just stay away from his mouth, he will eat anything!
• Dog House: Tinker's house. Use this as a puzzle goal.
• Dog Bone: The dog bone will attract Tinker. Tie a rope to it to pull it around. It can be set to 3 different sizes that determine how long Tinker takes to eat it.
• Dog Toy: Tinker loves to chase these toys.
• Dog Toy: This dog toy behaves just like the other, but it wont move until Tim picks it up. When he does, he will throw the ball a short distance. If it hits another Tim after being thrown, the new Tim will throw it again.
• Dog Treat: Once Tim picks up the dog treat, he wont use it until he gets in range of Tinker. Once he sees Tinker, Tim will place the treat on the ground to bring Tinker to him.
• Dog Whistle: When Tim picks this part up, he uses it immediately. The whistle will attract any dogs in a circle around Tim.
Mod Support
• We now have the first version of mod support in the game. Mods are made using JavaScript and can be directly coded and edited in the game. Mods are integrated into the Workshop, so they can be easily shared and played.
New Puzzles
• 10 new official puzzles have been added. These puzzles focus mainly on Tinker and the new parts that have been added along with him.
New Scenery & Music
• A new "neighborhood" scenery set and 6 new songs have been added to give more variety to your contraptions and puzzles.
Camera Animation & YouTube Uploading
• You can now animate the camera for when you record your contraptions. Open your contraption options and activate the CAT (Camera Animation Tool) to activate the tool. The camera can then be animated just like scenery parts. Official documentation for this will be coming soon.
• Once you make your awesome contraption movie, it can now be uploaded directly to youtube. After the movie is done recording, just select the "Upload to YouTube" button to go through the quick initial process. Once your account is linked, the process becomes instant!
Assorted Fixes
• More thoroughly integrated script collision callback handlers into chipmunk and CMLevel code. Also made how they are tracked and store for the callbacks to the script much more efficient. Added 8 Waldos to the PlatformTim level, gave them all onSensor handlers in script, and then copied and pasted a bunch of walls in front of their sensors and script was only taking roughly 2% of total time profilier.
• Added a #ifndef check to chipmunk_private.h to keep from being included twice (and causing a boatload of compile errors)
• Set up some flags so shapes can be marked as sensors in chipmunk but be treated as "onCollision" calls in script
• Converted a few sensor flagged collision into real flagged collision but didn't change actual behavior.
• Do not call handleCollision if there is no collision callback function

Beta 1:
New Puzzles
• If you have been looking for new puzzles, you are in luck. We have almost doubled our current amount of puzzles, adding 45 new ones! This brings the total official puzzle count up to 100. If you feel like you solved a puzzle in a strange or exploitative way, submit your solution to this forum thread. Some solutions are clever and will stay in, but certain solutions that break a puzzle are helpful to know about.
New Parts
• Aidan's Cooler: This is similar to the other boxes, but it’s much easier to move around. It’s on wheels, and has a handle that you can attach a rope to.
• “Ratchet Clicker”: Hit the button or give the rope hook a pull to give an impulse (he likes it!) to the hamster and make him run for just one rotation. Official name TBD.
• Part Creator: Set which part you want to make and how often you want it to be made. Once the part creator is turned on, it will continue to produce the selected part until it’s turned off.
• Vertical & horizontal walls & pipe: These are special versions of the walls and big pipe that can only be stretched vertically & horizontally. Use these as puzzle parts to make your puzzles less exploitable. (Icons in part tray are temporary)
• Limited length Conveyor Belt: Conveyor belts are fun, but it can be hard to put them in a puzzle because they can be too powerful. This is a special conveyor belt for use in puzzles. It can only stretch a certain distance, it can’t be stretched diagonally, and it only has one pulley attachment.
• Stone Tablet: These are like dominoes, but they are slightly heavier.
Usability
• You can now play levels directly from the community instead of subscribing and then going to the stash. This makes the community playing process much smoother and easier to understand.
• Customizable keyboard bindings: A long awaited feature. Go into the settings to check out or set your own keyboard shortcuts.
• Official puzzle solutions: After solving a puzzle (official or community), you can check out how the creator of the puzzle solved it.
• Freely rotatable parts now have buttons and widgets rotate along with them. This means buttons will no longer end up on top of the rotate handle.
• The puzzle boundary (the black line around your puzzle) is now used for creating the screenshot for your puzzle or contraption in the workshop. When publishing a contraption or a puzzle, you will get a confirmation window to make sure everything looks right.
• Animated arrows now connect frames of animation to give you an idea of the speed.
• You can now click the speed bar dots to change contraption playback speed.
• Parts can be cloned in test mode if there are some still in the tray
• Moved record button out of simulation controls to avoid accidental recordings
• Puzzle boundary can be moved
• When publishing a puzzle, there is now a check to see that it is actually solvable.
• Certain parts can now have their states edited when they are used as puzzle pieces: Egg timer, Dripping bucket, Toaster, Ray gun.
• Made Belt Attachment highlight red when they are out of range
• Downloaded levels can be displayed in the community browser
• Buttons that can't be adjusted when a part is locked will now disappear when that part is locked
UI
• New part selection
• New workshop card graphics
• New tooltips throughout the game. These can be turned off in the settings when you no longer need them.
• New handles for walls that behave differently
• New multiplayer server browser
• New animation window
• New puzzle goal editor
• New state window
• Infinite background grid. The puzzle boundary in make mode is now just a line.
Alpha 6 Hotfix:
Fix some crashes and issues with switching back and forth between the stash and the community.
Alpha 6:
New Puzzles
• 15 new official puzzles have been added. Our last puzzle update was mainly made up of easy puzzles, this batch should give more of a challenge. Check them out, and share all of your crazy exploits and issues
New Parts
• Part Disposal: Plug this in and drop parts into it to make them disappear forever.
• Flying Saucer: The flying saucer works like a blimp, but it moves vertically. It will fly up until it bumps something, then it will turn around.
• Thread Bobber: Attach a belt to this to turn rotational energy into a pulling motion. This allows you to use a belt to pull a rope.
• Sound Block: There are two types of sound blocks, "physical" and "powered". Physical blocks will play a sound when they are hit by something, and powered blocks will play a sound when turned on. REAL SOUNDS COMING SOON.
• Color Block: Color blocks function like sound blocks, but will instead show a color when turned on.
New UI & Usability Fixes
• We are in the process of doing a total overhaul of the in-game UI. This is part one of the change, with the major game modes receiving an update. In the next update, the changes will be more refined, and the rest of the old UI will be changed.
• New play screen
• New workshop
• New main menu
• New game settings
• New make mode
• Belts and ropes no longer go off of the screen while playing a puzzle.
• We changed how pulleys connect to ropes. Now you can just drag a rope over a pulley to either thread it through, or to unhook it from a pulley. This is a WIP functionality, let us know what you think about it in the forums.
• Added curved ends to belts and let either unattached end be grabbed.
• Added larger graphical handles to ropes and belts to make them much easier to grab.
• Moved part help button to no longer be on top of wall handles.
New Part Art
• New art has been added to a bunch of the parts. We have also added new "effects" that we are experimenting with. This includes things like stars above Tim's head when he gets knocked out, and onomatopoeia for some special in game effects.
• A NOTE ABOUT NEW LASER ART: The new laser art has slightly adjusted the collision boundaries for most of the laser parts. If any of your puzzles or contraptions use these parts, there will most likely be some part overlaps. If you have any creations using these parts, you should check them out and see if anything needs nudged around.
• Fixed blurry textures on certain parts
• New Laser Repeater artwork
• Added new Domino artwork
• Added new Red, Blue, and Green Laser artwork
• Added new Laser Outlet artwork

New Scenery Set
• We added a new basement scenery set. With this set, we tried a few new types of parts to help you customize your backgrounds. There is a pegboard broken up into sections so you can make it into a custom size and shape. There is also a chalkboard with a bunch of different drawings you can use to make it different every time. It's a pretty fun set to play around with.
Part & Physics Changes
• A number of physics and part behavior changes have been added. The biggest change being that the trapdoor stick and "match device" key will no longer interact with anything once pulled. Although this is not realistic, we found that having these objects actually interact with other things was more annoying than fun. It was no fun to have to create some sort of holder every time you activated one of these parts. There was also an extreme amount of differentiation on how they would behave based on the angle and strength that they were pulled at, which caused contraptions to behave very differently very easily. Because of these annoyances, we have decided to make them no longer a problem. Please give us any feedback on this change in the forums and let us know what you think.

Multiplayer:
• This feature has been on our list for a long time, and it's so exciting to finally get version 1.0 out there. In this very first version of multiplayer, you can create or join a server and build cooperatively with people. This behaves almost exactly like the current "make" mode, but you can play together with up to 7 other people.
• This is a very exciting first step. Sean and Keith put some amazing work into this over the last month, and their effort really shows. It may open up the door for future types of online play like puzzle solving or a versus mode. Join some friends, or build with fellow community members and let us know what you think!

General Improvements:
• Auto-save backup: After you save a contraption for the first time in make mode, it will now auto-save every 60 seconds. If the game crashes, or you quit without saving, you will have a backup. When reloading a contraption, we check to see if there is a newer auto-save. If there is, you are given the option to load the new version, or your older saved version.
• Creatures: Adjustments have been made to Tim and his fellow animals. Waldo and Milton will now angle themselves with walls as they walk up them, creatures will now work correctly on conveyor belts, and Tim now has a faster running state that he can be set to. Some of these changes may affect how your contraptions with creatures behave, so be sure to check them out and make any adjustments needed.
• Official puzzle tweaks: Tweaks have been made to some of the official puzzles to remove some of the more crazy exploits.
• Text field improvements: You can now move around in text fields with the arrow keys. If you make a spelling error in the beginning of your puzzle description, you no longer have to delete everything in front of it.
