📦 0.26.1 - Various bug fixes

🚀 Improvements

  • Server:
    • When no bullets or functioning bots remain, the round ends immediately as a draw to speed things up.
  • Bot API and schema:
    • The enemyCount field was moved from TickEvent for the bot (tick-event-for-bot) into BotState. This change
      provides an observer with the enemy count for each bot, which is useful for the UI to display the current enemy
      count for a specific bot. This also benefits the properties in the Bot Console.

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Bot API:
    • Old events was not removed, causing Maximum event queue size has been reached.
  • GUI:
    • The Properties of the Bot Console did not show the correct enemy count for a bot.
  • Server:
    • The enemy count in TickEvent was not calculated correctly for individual bots as well as for team bots.
