A dated record of how weirdfacts has changed, from the first fact card to today.
Home and Facts now open on a field of archive boxes with glass specimen slides. Each fact has a file number, rises from the archive and turns to face you before its photo clears, with the photo credit travelling on the card. A warm palette and Geist type now apply across the site; Study, Play and account pages keep their current layouts.
Pass any 30 eligible Year 12 foundation practice questions in a subject to unlock its mock exams. The same threshold now applies to Methods, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Specialist Mathematics. Sign-in and account progress are still required; Play questions do not count.
Added the missing Study and Play release notes, with a separate entry for each update.
Boost now lasts 3 seconds and Freeze lasts 2 seconds in both Intro and Challenge. Reward descriptions match the new durations.
Fast runners, swarms and elites arrive in five varied waves with previews. Tighter resources reward careful building and upgrades; wrong answers require review and retry. The final Boss summons reinforcements and speeds up at low health.
Simplified the Play question panel to focus on the question, choices and progress. Explanations remain available after each answer.
240 multiple-choice questions cover Mathematical Methods and Chemistry, Years 11–12. Three questions prepare each wave, with one optional rescue question during battle. Play progress stays separate from course completion.
Added assumed-knowledge guidance to Specialist Mathematics lessons, including Year 11 prerequisites.
Completed syllabus items now show their checkmark on the left across all subjects.
Reduced unnecessary rendering and background activity across Play, the Study toolkit and account updates.
Adjusted the deployment wheel so the gaps between its three sectors stay even.
Click a socket to open a radial menu, choose a unit or manage an existing tower.
Adapted the Study toolkit layout for 16:9 screens.
Adjusted the game board and controls for 16:9 displays and smaller screens.
Renamed Core to Health, added a heart icon and removed the bottom socket strip. Restart is available from the pause menu.
Reduced interface copy and gave Credits, Health and Wave clearer visual priority.
Aligned the update timeline typography and spacing with the rest of weirdfacts.
Removed the two-stage appearance of Fact glass cards so their depth appears in one continuous entrance.
The author note now opens this animated release history, with version numbers in v1.2 format. The Study toolkit also received interaction and styling refinements.
39 QCAA-oriented notes across five subjects, the restored wide toolkit case, and clearer Study practice, review and game feedback.
328 new complex questions across 164 lessons, a five-subject question review, and the code for feedback email notifications.
A physical study machine, a wide opening case and smoother reading transition. Facts also gained 100 new sourced stories.
Specialist Mathematics lessons and mock papers, plus exam reports, targeted revision and account cloud saves.
Year 11–12 Biology courses and mock papers, more lesson practice, progress fixes, and a responsive 16:9 Play view.
The Lab Defence playable demo, previous-fact navigation and a Play beta label.
Glass navigation, a personal learning home, refined branding and Study motion, along with account access and moderation updates.
v2.9 was saved only; its changes went live with v3.0.
A private feedback form and verified developer inbox, with clearer wording on the feedback page.
Physics Years 11–12 and Chemistry Year 11 courses, including Physics models, review and a mock exam.
Improved typesetting for calculus questions and mathematical answer options.
Year 12 Chemistry and Years 10–12 Mathematical Methods, with practice, mock papers, interactive models and improved formula display.
Photo flashcards, categories, favourites, about 300 new sourced facts, accounts, cloud favourites and mobile layouts.
CoolFacts began as a discovery demo for short, surprising facts.
