GBF Timers V2

Warning

V1 code is out-dated an no longer used, use only if you know what you're doing.

Data Protection

Due to this version being free for public use rather than closed access compared to V1, data protection is very important.

Your data will be closed and inaccessible by anyone, the data is updated using a computer and there is no manual work this means that no human will be in-between you and your data. You can request data deletion and that process will also be automatically done using a computer to ensure no human can view your data.

Your data is encrpyted using AES256-CBC [256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard in Cipher Block Chaining mode], this protects your data by encrypting your data from the client to the secure database.

New Main Features

• Enhanced system performance and less loading times: This was done by greatly improving the code and general connections to the server.

New display features:

1. Semester naming to help identifiy which data is for which group
2. Just finished session difference from average session data

Removed in-compatible features

1. System time welcome messages
2. System time footers

Added Multi-User support

Now the system supports multiple users but users are limited to their own commands so no one can manipulate your data without access to your account. This also means that now many users can use the timer and track their data for free.

Level system

Since the system is now open to the public, we find that having a progression system helps keep people interested, we plan to improve this system in the future.

1. Sesaonal level This is a temporary level that resets after each season/semester.
2. Account level This is a permenant level.

Major Updates

1. Daily login system 1.1. You can now earn rewards by logging in daily and claiming your daily reward, starting a session is not required. Reward increases proportionally with the streak. 1.2. You can now earn XP and a new currency (dunkelCoins) through the daily login, making leveling up slightly easier 1.3. Daily login streaks

Balance Updates

1. Improved XP gained from 10 XP per 5 minutes to 150 XP per 5 minutes. This change was needed since the level grind became too "hardcore" where you needed 998 hours to reach level 100 from level 99
2. XP gained buffed from 150 to 300 then to 180 per 5 minutes

Small Updates

1. Added session topic
2. Added change session topic
3. Changed level up emoji
4. Renamed season to semester
5. Made leveling up easier for semester level and account level, 300 and 500 less respectively
6. Added average time between breaks
7. Added semester recap in the reset command
8. Added the help command in the registry command as a tutorial
9. Removed rounding and added thousandth seperator and break number in the un-pause logic
10. Changed weekly average time stat to use the newest week rather than all weeks combined
11. Increased the length of the progress bar
12. Changed progress bar to have more realistic updates
13. Moved repeated functions to a logic utils file to improve performance and help with code maintenance
