Toaster 0.4.11
Two new scenes, the festival and the koi pond; the garden and the sharks redrawn; a smoother start after updates.
- The koi pond. Five koi swim a pond seen from above: a kohaku, a showa, a sanke, a yamabuki and an orange ogon, their fins and tails see-through. Lily pads sit in the corners, two in flower, and the toaster floats on a pad of its own, a ripple spreading from it on each kick. When the toast pops, the nearest koi comes for the crumbs. On the drop they all do, gathering round the toaster like the petals of a flower. Click the water to drop food, and the three nearest come to it.
- The festival. The toaster DJs on a stage at the edge of a lake in the mountains. Its lights' beams sweep round every two bars and flare on the kicks, and the screen behind the decks plays the music as bars. Fireworks go up every 8 bars and on the drop, and the crowd at the water's edge throws its arms up. By day it's an afternoon set.
- The garden, redrawn: the cherry tree in full blossom, a pagoda on the hill, the lanterns breathing with the loudness, the bridge's reflection closing the ring.
- The sharks have company:
- jellyfish rising, pulsing with the beat;
- a fish made of code, its scales rolling through digits;
- a blue-spotted stingray gliding along the bottom;
- the little fish as soft wisps.
- A smoother first start after an update. The scenery now makes its scenes one at a time, the one you're looking at first, instead of all at once. There are no more freezes while they're made, and the first scene comes in about twice as fast.
