It's very, very, minor, only cosmetic, but when a Powder Keg explodes and the explosions touches a "round" (unlightable) fuse, the fuse will make a "spark" sound and show the sparks, but it won't burn and the sparks will disappear the next turn. I don't think sparks should appear at all.

Explosions will set alight any fuse square, not just an end. This works for me in build 6060, either with bombs or kegs. If it isn't working for you, then it's a bug. Which room?

Whoops, I feel like a fool for not realizing that the fuse actually does burn. What happens is that the sparks disappear for one turn, then re-appear the next turn. This is the cosmetic issue.

This is occurring in build 6060, correct?

Reproduced in Linux 5.0.1.6061, but it's not just a cosmetic issue.

Seems like for any explosion caused by a spike trap (whether from keg or bomb),

- on the turn of the explosion, all the correct fuses start burning.
- on the next turn, the fuses touched by the explosion are still there and no longer appear to be burning.
- on the second turn after the explosion, the fuses adjacent to the ones touched by the explosion start burning.

So the connected fuses would all burn one turn later than they ought to.

[Edit: spike traps only]

Attached a small hold where you can clearly see something weird is going on.

I discovered that this same bug is occurring if the keg explosion is caused by a briar, as demonstrated in the hold attached here. I am running 5.0.1.6060 in Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Fixed for the next release: After an explosion caused by a spike trap, fire trap, or briar growth lights a fuse, the fuses failed to burn on the next turn.

This breaks some demos in TSS:FH:1N1E.

This issue appears to have been fixed for 5.0.2. In the FuseTiming example, all three powder kegs explode simultaneously. There are no graphical glitches.

The briar/keg explosions hold now works, too.
