This opens your browser at a bug report form, with the game version and current scene pre-filled into the appropriate fields. This does mean you need a GitHub account to report a problem. In future you could imagine directing users somewhere else, but this is an simple start based on infrastructure that already exists. To do this, refactor the code that determines the version from `git describe` so that it can also be used when running the game from the editor. For good measure, put the version number on the pause screen too. Resolves #2080

This is great! It prefills the version and affected scene. Maybe is too much of an assumption that the affected scene is the current one. The player might see a problem, then move on and later decide to report. I think we can clarify this in the bug report form itself. Something like "this may be prefilled if you clicked Report a problem in the game menu, with the current scene". Is great to have the current scene prefilled, don't get me wrong. |
| Give an example of a scene in the game where you see this problem. If | ||
| you're not sure, describe the scene visually, or leave this blank. | ||

| If you report a problem from within the game, this will have been filled | ||
| automatically with the current scene. You can change this if you are | ||
| reporting a problem you saw in a different scene. |
