26 AUG 2023:
- Player ship explosion now has more of a 3D look to it. I can also change:
- Size of the particles
- Speed of the particles
- Duration of the animation
- Added option to skip the opening animation when starting the game. Can also be skipped while playing. Just about every game designer out there will tell you that animations/cutscenes should have a Skip button, regardless of how short they are.
- Settings can be accessed whenever the game is paused. Previously you could only access settings at the very beginning or between levels.
- Assets are properly freed when you exit the game. This prevents memory leaks.
