The stable version is finally here! I am proud to finally release a stable version of the game after weeks of hard work on security and optimizing the user interface and user experience. 🙂✌️

Client - 1.0.0

• [NEW] Now the Chat box has a limit of 150 characters.
  • There is also a small character counter as part of this new update.
• [SECURITY] The game just got that much more secure! When a person joins a room, they're given a unique key that is only to them. This will disallow:

  • This is because due to the nature of the current E2EE implementation, the serverless function may timeout when trying to create a room!

Version 0.3.6 and 0.2.9

What's new

We're excited to announce that nothing changed except for the fact that we adopt TurboRepo. If you're seeing the application on these versions, you're seeing the latest one

Version 0.3.5 and 0.2.8

What's new (Client - 0.3.5 and Server - 0.2.8)

• We fixed the issue of messages not replying instantly.

  • To provide the best possible experience for our users, we have implemented an alternative method for handling messages in the Troof chat. Initially, the chat table in the database used an integer primary key, which introduced a delay when sending and receiving messages. Additionally, using an integer as the primary key has an upper limit, which could potentially be reached in the future. However, by using a varchar field with UUID v4 as the primary key, we can generate a unique identifier for each message on the client side and immediately broadcast it back to the user. This allows for instant messaging and enables us to reply to messages instantly without any delays. Plus, using a varchar field with UUID v4 as the primary key removes the potential for reaching an upper limit in the future. Both the frontend and backend added support for these types.

• In the future, we will limit games to only have 8 players max.

Version 0.3.4

What's new (Client - 0.3.4)

• The next time you join a game, we will pre-fill your previously used name because we remember :)

• Fixed typos
• Added the ability to reply to other people's messages
  • This is somewhat a new features, may be unstable.
  • With this feature introduced, messages sent now has a delay depending on how fast the server responds back! - We will try to see how this can be optimized in the future!

What's new (Server - 0.2.7)

• Support for new text messages type (overhaul of types).
• Support for message reply.

Version 0.3.3

What's new (Client - v0.3.3)

• Changed layout of game screen.
• Increase width of the home screen in desktop.
• Add new Promo image on the home screen.
• Added a pulse effect when it is your turn in the game.
• Fixed: The reaction raining emojis go behind the message box. Now it is fixed.

What's new (Server - v0.2.6)

• Fixed a bug where the API requires you to have minimum 20 characters for your display name. It should've been maximum instead.

Version 0.3.2

We are pleased to announce that our servers are finally receiving updates after 2 client updates. These updates will include the implementation of a new, cryptographically secure random number generator that will be used to select truths or dares and minor fixes.

What's new (Client - v0.3.2)

  • An example of this is sit-steam-two-tin

If you encounter any issues while playing the game, please submit an issue ticket at Troof's GitHub Issues (https://github.com/nabilridhwan/troof/issues) or contact me on GitHub (@nabilridhwan). We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

What's new (Client - v0.3.0)

Known issues

• When opening the GIF picker and then you click on the emoji button, the GIF Picker closing animation will stutter. This is by the cause of react-emoji-picker. And we'll look into it.
• Removed the feature of emoji bar showing recent/frequent emojis. We'll find a workaround for this in the future.
