Prototype 0.1.3

Prototype 0.1.3

Overview

This update focuses on making the workbook screen faster to read and easier to operate on smaller desktop displays. The top chrome is more compact, formula placement is more direct, recalculation has a short cooldown, and the right-side objective panels can now be collapsed when players want more room.

Game Screen Layout

• Removed the separate in-game title bar and folded the title, menus, formula bar, and recalculation controls into a tighter top layout.
• Moved the Recalculate button next to the formula bar and made the formula text field expand to fill the available row space.
• Kept the exit button in the top-right corner of the game screen and added a matching exit button to the main menu.
• Added an exit prompt in-game with choices for Exit to Menu or Exit Game.

Cell Interaction

• Reworked double-click behavior: empty cells open a contextual Choose Formula window, while occupied cells open an Edit menu.
• Choosing a formula from the contextual picker now places it directly into that cell instead of entering placement preview mode.
• Single-click selection remains focused on inspection and preview details.

Recalculation Feedback

• Added a recalculation cooldown so players cannot spam recalculations instantly.
• The Recalculate button now fills back to its bright green ready state over the cooldown instead of changing its text to a timer.
• Fixed cash popup positioning so payout badges stay anchored to the cells that generated them.

LedgerOS Presentation

• Added a retro LedgerOS boot sequence when a LedgerOS workbook starts.
• The boot sequence can be skipped with the on-screen prompt or any key.
• Updated the LedgerOS boot revision to Prototype 0.1.3.

Objective Panels

• Added collapse controls to the Charter Contract panel.
• Added collapse controls to the Side Objectives panel.
• Collapsed objective panels keep their heading visible while freeing right-panel space.
