Version	Description
1.0 Build 19
1.0 Build 20	This is the version of Lost Worlds that is generally released.
1.1 Build 29	This version was used to make Ricochet Recharged Added a "restart level" option to the ESC/Pause menu. Now if you get stuck you can reset the level back to the way it was when it started. (this is the same as using suspend and then resume right away) Win screen doesn't say try to get all the rings if you already did get them all Fixed dirty rect problem on win screen. Now there are no more strange squares left behind which you have to "erased" with your mouse. (This problem only occurred if brightness was turned up. Now it never happens no matter what your brightness is set to) Better support for level with more than 5 rings (Doesn't show win screen for 6th (or greater) ring ) Doesn't save win screen as JPG file for user made levels. (Still saves them when you win the main game) Display roundset name any time round name is displayed (At the start of each round you are reminded of the name of the round SET) In the round set select screen, the "standard" round set is now always listed first with all of the user made roundsets below it Round set select list no longer has a "new" option if it was accessed from start game (the "new" button is still accessible from in the level editor) The currently selected roundset is tracked separately for each user Round set select screen loads MUCH faster when many roundsets are installed Round Set Select always comes up after you select a player. It is now possible to have a suspended game in one roundset and then play a different roundset. A single player/user can have a different suspended game for each roundset. Added ring count display to level editor Added option in level editor to make "starfish" plug-in play an effect on a brick without giving you a starfish ball Level editor detects and displays message for common type of error made by level designers. The level editor forces off screen bricks to be moved onscreen as soon as you test play the level (rather than waiting until the next time you run the program) When the editor is used to insert a "change area" brick into a level it now defaults to change to a power-up brick rather than changing to the illegal "none" brick.
1.1 Build 30	Added an option to run the game in a window rather than full screen Disable F5 key. You can still turn off the background from the video options screen but you will no longer accidentally turn them off if you bump the F5 key The level editor"s automatic error detection that was added in build 28 has now been updated to detects several more types of errors (missing thumbnail image, floating balls too close to bottom of screen, blend positions combination that crashes game) Fixed crash bug in editor which sometimes occurred when using "select all with same plug-in" Fixed an issue with MMX code that could theoretically cause a crash in some cases. Disabled editor features that were used by Reflexive to design the game but were not intended to be used by authors of user made level sets. For example, removed "List Browser, Image Browser, Asset dependency browser, and the "new" button next to lists of power-ups and brick style sheets. Now you can"t accidentally made a roundset that references new assets and it not eligible for distribution on RicochetLostWorlds.com
1.1 Build 31	Fixed a crash bug in the level editor which was introduced in build 30 Added another item to the list of common mistakes the level editor checks for in user made levels. It is now report as an error if the last round in the round set has more then 5 rings
1.1 Build 32	Fixed a crash bug that occurred if you ran the game in a window with a desktop resolution set to 8 bit color Fixed the music player to switch to the correct song when transition from one level type to another and when returning to the main menu Added another item to the list of common mistakes the level editor checks for in user made levels. It is now report as an error if a change self plug-in is used inside of another plug-in such as a sequence.
1.1 Build 33	Version 1.1 (Build 33) has many improvements to dealing with user made levels. It better handles levels with more than 5 rings, the level editor reports common level designer mistakes, and the round set selector lists loads MUCH faster even when you have hundreds of user made level sets installed. Most of these features were included in Recharged but are now available to owners of the original Ricochet Lost Worlds. A few things have been added since Recharged including the ability to run Ricochet Lost Worlds in a window rather than full screen. Automatically replaced Recharged ships with Lost Worlds ships if the roundset used a Recharged specific ship as a starfish effect. Improved the roundset validation rountines that detect common errors made by level designers Does not report an invisible brick as an error if it has a starfish effect on it Displays an error if a level with invisible bricks allows an acid ball power-up Displays an error when an incomplete sequence is used which will crash the game When counting how many rings on are a level, the editor counts bricks that change themselves into rings Add new commands to the level editor menu bar for repairing common types of errors made by level designers New Command to select all change area bricks that change to "!none" (in other words, select all the charge area bricks that make invisible bricks) New Command to paste a replacement "change to" type into all the select change area bricks New command to select all the bricks that have a change self to "!none" and don"t have a starfish. (in other words, select all invisible bricks)
