Cannon Craze v1.1.0

The game found its voice. Cannon Craze now has fully procedural sound, an Android edition, a window that fills every pixel with scene instead of bars, and a smoother, sturdier engine across the board.

Full documentation, screenshots, and install instructions live in the README.

What's new

  • Procedural sound design. Every effect is synthesized from pure math at startup, matching the fully procedural visuals: a deep launch thump, a hit chime that climbs a pentatonic ladder as your streak grows, a falling game-over tone, a four-note record fanfare, soft UI clicks, and a quiet pluck when you grab the ball. No audio files anywhere.
  • Sound settings. A sound on/off switch and a draggable volume slider (with live audio feedback while you drag) join the Settings modal. Both save automatically like everything else.
  • Edge-to-edge window. No more letterbox bars: whatever shape you make the window, the world extends to fill it (more sky, wider mountains, longer ground) while gameplay stays identical.
  • Android edition. A complete Android Studio project ships in the repo: same game, touch aiming, fullscreen immersive landscape, GPU rendering, zero permissions. CannonCraze-android.apk below is the sideload build; a Play Store release is in progress.

Fixes and performance

  • Fixed a crash (NullPointerException in the AWT buffer strategy) that could freeze the game while dragging the window edges to resize.
  • Maximized-window performance is fixed: 12 fps at 1920 x 1080 is now a steady 60 fps, by keeping the cached background on Java2D's fast blit path.
  • The window title is now simply "Cannon Craze" on every platform, and the macOS bundles finally carry their icon inside the app.
