080823 Cosmogelica Patch

Wowza! Another one!

The good news though, is that this one is more or less it. I'm gonna be adding some tweaks and polishes depending on what feedback or bug reports I get from this, but otherwise, all the big things and most of the small things are in! There will be one more build with whatever this build brings + the small polishes, and then that should be it.

With this build, I'm testing a Linux version of the game. I'm sure I'll have a whole new slew of bugs to work out LOL but we'll see, in my tests it seems to work quite well.

Here's the patch notes:

===== IMPORTANT =====

• The game now remembers high scores between sessions, so you can now try to get the highest of scores.
• You can also reset the high scores, if that's something you want to do.

===== NEW =====

• You can now (finally) interact with the menu using the mouse.
• The game will now pop up an average FPS in the bottom right when it's not hitting the target of 60fps.
• An update check has been added to the game to let you know if you're running an older version.
• A short tutorial has been added that covers how to use the gel and missiles effectively.
• The game now tracks damage taken and will show you on the end run screen how much damage you took.

===== IMPROVED =====

• The end screen will now specify which endless mode you were playing in if you were playing endless mode.
• Small improvements to menu transitions and backgrounds.
• Adjusted how stuff is loaded at the beginning of the game for a smoother experience.
• Made several improvements to the ending screen, with more stats and better formatting.

===== CHANGED =====

• The game will now default to 2 star difficulty on new installs (most likely this wont affect anyone reading this before the demo comes out.)
• "10 Phase Challenge" has been changed to "20 Phase Challenge" so you can fight the boss too.
• "Glass Cannon" mode has been rolled into the other endless modes. You can now find it in "Endless Mode" as "Type C."
• The game will no longer drop Extra Lives when you have Infinite Lives (you don't need em lmao)
• You can no longer use the secondary weapon in the Balloon minigame (you don't need it)

===== BUG FIXES =====

• Fixed a bug where the debug panel would crash when the "Current Inputs" subpane was open.
• Restored missing option to disable/enable in-game notifications. I have no idea where it went, but it's back now.
• Fixed the hitbox on fuel, missile, and health pickups not being large enough.
• Fixed a bug where higher difficulties would start with some other formation besides bats (bats by themselves should always be the first formation.)
• Fixed a bug where the average rank was calculated incorrectly.
• Fixed some weird visual issues with the loading screen (mainly in regards to it being off center.)
• (Potentially) fixed a bug where restarting a run would have no music (I wasn't able to reproduce this myself, so I just put extra code to make Sure, so let me know if it still happens.)
• (Potentially) fixed a bug where text would be blurry under certain conditions. (I also wasn't able to reproduce this myself, so I just put extra code to make sure.)

Thank you!
