Shane's Trains 0.2.1 - Visual Polish & Motion Fixes (opens in new tab)
Bug fix - train movement stutter (regression since v0.1.7) Trains at 1x and 5x speeds appeared to "snap forward" every game-minute (~60 wall-seconds at 1x, ~12 seconds at 5x) instead of moving smoothly. The frontend interpolation was gated on the game-minute counter from a pre-lockstep multiplayer design; now refreshes on every tick. - Smooth motion at ever…

Shane's Trains 0.1.6 (opens in new tab)
Map engine rewrite - Replaced Leaflet + protomaps-leaflet with maplibre-gl-js + @protomaps/basemaps. - Fixes the long-standing freeze where rapid zoom/pan would stall the GPU compositor and lock the window. - All six map themes restored (light, dark, white, grayscale, black, contrast) with full Protomaps flavor palettes, no more sharp cutouts at high zoom.…
