✏️ Quikbild

• Queue waiting time reduced, 30->15 seconds
• QuikBild now accepts translations for the game itself (HUD and messages) via Weblate.

  Previously, translating QuikBild required sending the developers the translation manually or via code changes. Now, you can translate the game in the Weblate UI hosted by Codeberg, with the same account you use for the other AES mods.
  Translating the word list this way is not yet possible, but a long-term goal.

🕹️ Arcade

• Arcade party: you can now enter as a player whilst a game is in progress

  You’ll be added as a spectator until the next round begins (and be warned in chat about it). Maybe you can’t win the game but at least you don’t have to wait until the whole arcade party is over. Also, if you were a player and you left by accident, your points are kept

• Dig race: don’t crash if there’s only one player left
• Dig race: fixed an edge case where players could go outside the pillar when getting teleported (losing their chances to win)

❓ Misc

• Spectate mode: prevent leaving inadvertently during the first second

  In the heat of a match, people might get eliminated whilst still fighting. And if the slot they were currently clicking/tapping with is the same where the spectate quit item has been put, they might click/tap the quit item by accident. After discussing this through, we’ve opted for graying out the quit item for a second, so even if it’s clicked, nothing happens

• Development: introduced “Good first issue” labels

  You want to contribute to the code but you don’t know how? “Good first issue”-labelled issues are the way to start! https://gitlab.com/groups/zughy-friends-minetest/-/issues/?label_name[]=Good%20first%20issue
