v1.0.1-alpha

Update: The patch method caused a crash at the end of a play. As such, patch zips have been removed. We'll make sure that a patch method works in future releases!

Here's a list of changes this patch makes:

• Difficulty Calculation adjusted. There were extra weights given to up/down arcs, this patch removes those extra weights. This means that most maps will be have a lower difficulty than before. The changes in difficulty won't show until after you reload the Song Select with F5 or after you delete beatmap.db and let Pulsarc make a new .db
• Scrolling Direction Fixed. Now it matches all your other programs!
• Username Customization. We may not have any online features yet but that doesn't mean you can't have a username! Change the name by going to Profile in the config.txt.
• More details on Scorecards. Score cards are the little icons that pop up when you select a map that show you your previous scores. Scorecards now show the song-rate and profile name used for the play. song_select.ini has been updated to consider these new items.
• The Intralism converter now attempts to grab a background. If you're converting an Intralism map that has a small amount of images, Pulsarc will automatically grab the first image listed in the maps level resources. You can override this to grab a specific image by changing the BGImage in the config.ini. Don't forget to include the extension!
• Gameplay Optimization. There should be less frame drops during gameplay now.
• Changed version suffix from "pre-release" to "alpha"

As always, please report any bugs and problems on our Issues Board or on our Discord Server.

Thanks for the support and feedback thus far! 😄
