Hear ye, hear ye, citizens of the realm! By decree of the Crown, the Version 1.2 "Royal Polish" update is hereby released to all loyal subjects across the kingdom! A Flawless Royal Orchestra The Queen’s musicians have entirely rewritten the underlying audio engine! Tile placements, the snipes of your opponents, and the glorious plink-plink-plink of combinations are now flawlessly, perfectly synchronized. We have permanently banished the dark magic of "audio lag." Listen closely for a brand-new satisfying point-tally sound and a completely distinct, magical chime gracefully alerting you when it is your turn to strike! A Spectacle of Fireworks The Royal Pyrotechnics Guild has significantly upgraded the visual spectacles. Fireworks are now massively thunderous, perfectly synchronized with their audible pop, and carefully engineered to fade organically across your screen upon victory. Trophies & The Grand Leaderboard We have purged the kingdom's Record Books of several grievous errors: Total Victories: The Grand Leaderboard now seamlessly tallies your total career wins across the kingdom, synchronizing perfectly from your iPhone to your iPad without wiping your previous conquests. Queen Slayer: The legendary title of Queen Slayer is now rigorously guarded! You can only claim this achievement by explicitly winning the entire match against the Crown itself. The Skunk: The humbling Skunk achievement is now exclusively, and correctly, awarded to the absolute victor of the game. Themed Battlefield Visuals When challenging the Kingdom's elite Mascots, your standard playing tiles will now seamlessly and beautifully morph to match the colors of the Princess you are battling against the exact moment they touch the board. Sharpen your wits, assemble your tiles, and ascend the throne!

Since our first decree on March 7th, the Royal Architects have been hard at work refining the realm. I. Surgical Precision & AI Strategy The Royal Advisor’s Surgical Sight: Re-engineered the highlighting engine for pinpoint accuracy. If a declaration is invalid, the problematic "passenger" tile is now branded in Surgical Red, while its legitimate scoring neighbors glow in Regal Purple. (Technical: Implemented a deep contributor-accumulation algorithm for partial-turn validation). The Phantom Princess Resolution: Banished "ghost turns" that occurred during rapid game restarts by implementing an identity-guarded task management system. The Princess now strictly honors the current game instance. (Technical: Added strict async Task-cancellation and identity-verification to the AI decision loop). Advanced Tactical Meditation: The AI now simulates deep strategy with a refined 2-second thinking period, ensuring she is both a more formidable and responsive opponent. II. Visuals & Royal Calibration The Architect's Compass (iPad Dynamic Calibration): Completely recalibrated the camera metrics for iPad devices. The board now scales perfectly to every screen size, eliminating stretching and ensuring the full 15x15 realm is always in view. (Technical: Optimized scale-factor logic using GeometryReader with fixed-frame constraints). Imperial Record-Keeping: Replaced generic system alerts with custom-designed, native-feeling Score Cards and Royal Proclamation banners that match the aesthetic of the court. The Court of Silhouettes: Expanded the court with all-new princess silhouettes and watermarks. Imperial Achievements: Redesigned all GameCenter achievement icons in high-definition and stabilized the score-syncing engine for a more reliable climb to the top of the leaderboards. III. Stabilization of the Realm Scoring Corrections: Resolved complex edge-cases where "passenger" tiles in multi-line plays were not being correctly identified. Haptic & Audio Decrees: Restored the functionality of the Sound and Haptics settings, ensuring they are strictly honored across all devices. Animation Hygiene: Eliminated tile "ghosting" and flickering during the Royal Sweep (turn rollback), resulting in a zero-flicker experience.
