v1.2 Released [Bugfix for Chrome]


Previously there was a bug involving the z-index that meant the first cutscene rendered the game unplayable from there on out. I used a cover div that appeared under the cutscene to create a black transparency effect over the rest of the game. Unfortunately, due to the difference between how Chrome and Firefox handles z-indexes (see https://timkadlec.com/2008/01/detailed-look-at-stacking-in-css/), the cover div, in Chrome, appeared above every other layer, including the one containing the X button that closed the cutscene and made the cover div disappear.

I discovered this only through Hymeji's playthrough (thank you Hymeji), where he goes into the inspector and deletes the cover div manually to continue playing.

I have fixed the z-index issue by changing the order of my divs. I have no idea how many people this may have affected and who may have abandoned the game because of this. Not very many people have played it. Oh well.

I doubt anyone will see this, so I guess I am writing it for my own peace of mind. And to remind myself to playtest my games on different browsers from start to finish next time, in order to avoid these problems.

(On a related note, scrollbars on Chrome also showed up where they didn't on Firefox, interfering with the intended appearance of the game. I fixed that as well. But the issue is minor in comparison.)
