Bug Fixes Devlog 09

This update is important because I finally fixed the items - rods, scrolls, and orbs should now be mostly usable.

I know there is a certain amount of polishing that still needs to be done (like for spell damage formulas), and that there are still errors that I mostly know how to fix once I become aware of them.

If I treated this like a job again I could probably fix it much faster, but I'm taking it easy while I am detoxing from drinking too much coffee.   Without coffee and tea there would be no Rescue the Cat!  But my brain and heart need a break.  Coffee helped me brainstorm my code but I've discovered too much of it isn't good for cognitive functioning, and anyway if I have a heart attack I'll never be able to fix this game.

There may be issues with the Wander/Alchemy/Hunt World Map options - those I will fix next.  And I haven't really tested food to see if the bonuses work properly.  But those are minor additional features so Rescue the Cat is fully playable even though it is still being tested for bugs.

You just need Java 20 to play it: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 20 (oracle.com)

"Windows x64 msi Installer" is the download link you probably want if you're on Windows.  You also need 7zip if you don't already have it: 7-Zip

To run my game then you just extract the "Rescue the Cat" folder to the desktop and click "play Rescue the Cat.bat".  If you installed Java 20 properly, it should work.  (It may or may not work with other versions of Java for now.)
