LifeOnMars version 1.20230612 is live

Yes, you read that right, Life On Mars now has a version number !

You will ask me what use a version number can be for a program that can be played online and whose challenge is to add new features without the player having to start a new game.
It is precisely there that I find myself confronted with the need for a version.
Life On Mars has two objects that offer the player a story in addition to simple management of the base.
- The Boss object that manages Elon Omega Musk's requests
- The Historian object which regularly displays advice for managing the database.
These are two objects that unfold a kind of program of announcements to be made over time.
However, time passes and they reach the end of their program. Those who have been playing the game for a long time may have noticed that Elon Musk randomly asks to complete similar goals.
The version number therefore allows me to send back the pointers of these two objects to introduce players new quests and possibilities.

Why version 1.20230612 ?

The 1 is for version 1. In general, version 2 are major changes to the game, sometimes going as far as a complete overhaul.
Why the sequence 20230612 ?
In general, computer companies spread us with 1.1, 1.01a, 1.2.3b... All this is very complicated to manage when you are alone.
I therefore simply use the date of the last official update in American format. 20230612 because it is the code version of 2023-12-06 !
What's new in this new version:
- Modifications to prepare the actions of the Chinese player Xi Jinping GPT.
- Bug fixes in vegetation growth.
