Patch notes
Prelaunch 2 (0.9.2)
The biggest content + UX update since the Logic First prelaunch opened. Three new chapters, every chapter now has a capstone, the Learn tab consolidates to a single chapter map, and the shop’s premium purchases actually move real money instead of mock-crediting a dev wallet.
🚀 New
- Three new chapters - Ch.8 Lists, Ch.9 Dictionaries, Ch.10 Strings. 15 new lessons + 3 new capstones. The prelaunch curriculum now covers the breadth marketing implies: lists, dicts, and strings join the foundational seven (commands, names/values, conditions, loops, variables, functions, debugging). Each new chapter follows the same visual-first contract as the rest: game-world scenario → interaction → diagram → pseudocode → real code reveal.
- Every chapter has a capstone now. Ch.2–7 each got an integrative scenario authored against the chapter’s full curriculum - “The Forked Tunnel” (Ch.3 conditions), “The Crystal Vein” (Ch.4 loops), “The Recipe Card” (Ch.6 functions), “The Broken Gate” (Ch.7 debugging), and three more. Every chapter (Ch.1–10) ends on the same shape now.
- 128 practice variants across every chapter. The practice layer was Ch.1-only at launch; this update fills out Ch.2 through Ch.7 (the new Ch.8–10 had practice from day one). Four variants per lesson, each authored against a different scene.
- Learn tab is now a single chapter node-map. The old “LOGIC FIRST · PRELAUNCH” banner card + flat list is gone. The Learn tab renders all 10 chapters in one polished pixel node-map: chapters flow left-right-left, the current chapter pulses, completed chapters glow lava. Tapping a chapter opens a sheet listing every lesson + practice + capstone in order.
- Shop premium purchases are real now. Premium morphs, accessory bundles, crystal packs, and core packs all route through the real Google Play sheet via RevenueCat. Reinstall on a new device and your premium morphs + accessories restore automatically.
- Profile → CURRICULUM PROGRESS shows all 10 chapters, with per-chapter accuracy %, completion fraction, and capstone tick.
🔧 Tuning
- Settings → Curriculum → “Show classic curriculum” toggle. Alpha testers who had progress on the legacy 18-module curriculum keep access to it; new installs see only the Logic First chapter map.
- Insights chapter rollup now covers all 10 chapters instead of the original 7.
📋 Planned
- Ch.7 (Debugging) carry-over scenarios for Lists / Dicts / Strings now that those chapters exist.
- iOS parity - this prelaunch track is Android-only today.
- Continued chapter expansion beyond Ch.10 (OOP, file I/O, algorithms) on a post-1.0 cadence.
