Text-Parser


Hello! 

After taking a couple days break from the game I was able to re-assess the code and fix some of the issues with the text parser. I was never happy with it to begin with, but I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to submit the game due to the DDOS attacks itch was having at the time, so I shipped it knowing it would cause some issues with people. 

The computer and evidence submit is no longer case sensitive, accepts ['s], ignores if there is a space as the last character, and ignores [-], and ignores [the].

Calling people on the phone is still case sensitive, but there's still a warning for it, but asking the wife questions is not. 

I also added a warning for empty fields for submitting the first round of evidence, which has been an ongoing issue. The second round of evidence submit will tell you if something is correct or not, so you will know if there is a typo. 

I originally planned on having the first round tell players if you were correct or not, but I was worried that some players would input a certain name as a joke when they first opened the game, and then would have the surprise ruined for them. This is also why you have to submit 3 pieces of evidence along with the name.  

Unless there are any game-breaking bugs (in which case please, please tell me) this will be the last update. 

And if you like this game I would recommend Another Night at the Archives, which was the inspiration for this game's gimmick, and Type Help, which made me realize you don't have to have a lot of images to make a good mystery. 


Update 1: Fixed a few more bugs with the help of MLGityaJ^A ! Thank you so much!

entering things into the fields turns off any upper cases, is this intended?

yes, that's how the case sensitivity is negated since the code only looks for lower case 

what about the password no longer being required?

Oh shoot i missed that good catch! Thank you!!

One last thing, 'MSA' does not work at all when it is entered in the second field, but in any other, it's confirmed as correct and is accepted; not sure if there's a similar issue for others

omg, thank you so much for all your help. it should be fixed now
