Hello everybody! I have some great news! Work Zone 1.0 is almost finished! Right now, I want to release an alpha version of 1.0 for everyone so you can use all of the new features, but I will leave out file loading because that is the very last thing I will work on before this project is done for good! I deeply appreciate everyone's patience with my progress because developing this project while 9 hours away from home is tricky and things occassionally get in the way, but I'm pushing through it.

I'll take some time before I continue heavily working on the project again, so not too much activity from me will be happening for a bit.

Alright, let's get reading... lol

New Power Reducer setting explanation:

A new setting has been added! It is the Power Reducer setting. It will adjust some other settings to reduce power usage on your computer. There are some aspects to this setting that may be confusing to some users. First, I should mention that when the power reducer is enabled and active, your brightness will be lowered by 10%. Second, the video quality will be reduced and appear more pixelated. Third, some adjustments will be made to some tools to reduce the load on your hardware, so Work Zone will run at 50 FPS instead of 60 FPS to reduce the amount of calculations per second. Fourth, this setting is not just for battery-operated deviced, so desktops and laptops can use this feature with the same intentions of decreasing the use of power usage. When charging your device, the battery icon will be replaced with a charging battery symbol. It will appear white when the battery is below 50%, yellow when the battery is between 50% and 84%, and green when the battery is 85% or higher. Fun fact: charging your device up to 80% is recommended to extend your battery's lifespan. You should also always plug in your device when it is at around 20% for the same reason. This is why the charging icon glows green at 85%, and glows red at 25%. You can click the battery symbol to show your device's battery percentage.

Currently known bugs, errors, and issues:

-Work Screen clock partially overlaps other tools

-Anything printed onto the canvas will compress to a lower resolution when the window size is changed

-The eraser in the canvas erases PNG backgrounds (the sky and the gradient)

-Reusing the animating option causes issues sometimes

-The canvas ruler is very buggy

-When exiting the canvas, the screen flashes black for 1 frame

-Lag can cause the metronome to become out of sync

-The eighth note setting in the metronome is... really buggy... to say the least

-The Work Zone loading screen is low quality, pixelated, and off-centered

-The select image button in the work screen has its animations delayed by 1 frame for no reason (???)

-Loading a file makes the background go blank for a moment

-Some buttons can still be interacted with any mouse click

-The color picker preview has rendering issues and will sometimes render the color on the wrong part of the screen if the window size is changed. A refresh button is available in case this occurs

-Floating images do not save their size when a screen is downloaded. When the file is loaded, images will all load with their default size. I may not change this feature since file loading is already a total mess of code that I do not want to mess with...

-Quit button does not work

Possible issues:

-The battery symbol may or may not appear when using certain browsers and operating systems

-The battery value may not be correct for some users

-The Tunebit page might not open if an antivirus is active

-Files that are group downloaded may be downloaded in opposite order or out of order entirely depending on your browser

-A file count greater than 8 might display overlapping buttons in the file library, but I haven't tested this

-There is no video size limit, so your computer might run out of memory loading large videos because the video is loaded all at once instead of loading chunks of it as it plays

Changelog for version 1.0:

-Fixed a bug where clicking on a file would either show the invalid icon or the last loaded file's icon instead

-Changed many menu animations to become more consistent with other animations

-Stylized some menus

-Backgrounds in the coloring book no longer change transparencies

-Compressed some images

-Some buttons and interactions can only be clicked with the primary mouse button instead of any mouse button

-You can now secondary-click a canvas vector point to delete vector points higher than its labelled number. For example, say you secondary-click a vector point labelled "5". Any point with a label greater than 5 will be deleted with it

-Made more adjustments to spraypaint particles

-The default print size is now 10 rather than 5

-Work screen floating images are no longer on the top layer of the UI and other tools

-Added more details and/or animations to some buttons

-Added stamps to the canvas tool

-Video player buttons are less glitchy
