READ THE PROJECT-SPECIFIC GUIDELINES BEFORE EDITING THIS FILE.

Dedicated to Jack Lance)

(DEVLOG)

(#0, zaratustra: Made seed project)
(#1, Deusovi: added sliding powerup mechanic)
(#2, Toombler: Added Obstruction Projectiles mechanic. These are projectiles which form when you bump into an Obstruction object. They make hazards traversable in one direction. Added temporary sfx.)
(#3, Anthony: Added 1 level with existing mechanic)
(#4, Karoo: ObstructionProjectiles no longer disappear if they hit a wall, instead they turn into ObstructionBlocks. Added a level.)
(#5, foxblit: Added Filter object and a level using filters and blocks. Put my level before Karoo's because it's easier)
(#6, marcos_don:
	Added the Midas powerup (feel free to rename it) that allows the player to touch an obstructionblock and convert it into a normal obstruction, allowing for the production of more projectiles.
	Added a simple level to introduce it (also, feel free to modify and/or reorder it).
	Also fixed a typo in one of the solutions.
)
(#7, Heiegg:
    Added interaction of Midas powerup with bridges: rotation by 90 degrees.
    Added a simple level to introduce it. This level does not use the interaction of turning an Obstructionblock into an Obstruction.)
(#8, wryandbeary:
    Added logic so that only one Midas powerup can be collected at a time.
    Added Mixas collect sfx and ObstructionBlock transform sfx
    Added a mostly linear level that uses a little bit of everything so far.)
(#9, Aspeon:
    Added an introductory level using filters, put before foxblit's
    Added a message as a header before tests and mystery levels)
(#10, pickten:
    Added a level showcasing a (hopefully) fun use of Midas)
(#11, bbb651:
	Added Midas Ray when you touch Midas Thing with Midas Touch
    Added a level that uses Midas Ray)
(#12, csouvey:
    Added a small level to smooth the difficulty curve in between the
    very basic Midas Touch introduction and the larger levels making
    use of its new interactions. No new mechanics.
    Gave each sprite a unique silhouette. I have no attachment to these;
    I just found the levels hard to parse with only colored squares.
    Hopefully someone has a theme idea and replaces them with something nicer.)
(#13, Le Slo:
	Added 3D effect to some of the sprites (the ones that are solid) and changed the color palette, 
    still no clear theme (makes me think of alien fauna)
    Added a level that continues to explore the midas powerup and ray.
)
(#14, stevenjmiller: Added a level)
(#15, Menderbug:
	Removed an emitter from Heiegg's level to force an alternative solution (with Heiegg permission)
)

(OTHER NOTES)

(potential mechanics, if you're stuck: more powerups? breakable walls? pushable boxes that are solid to a sliding player? -Deusovi)

(Some things that need to be decided (atm Things and Obstructions are not in a level together): 
* What happens if you run into an Obstruction when sliding with powerup - is it destroyed, does anything else happen?  
* What happens if the player hits the side of an obstruction bridge while sliding? 
* What happens if a projectile goes over a powerup Thing - does it get launched, destroying stuff? 
-Toombler )

(Be careful about your level's border, build it assuming there will be a tunnel to another level, or even include the tunnel if it might matter to your solution (for example, shooting obstruction projectiles out of the level should be prevented).
Obstruction blocks should be given more interactions, and maybe keep orientation, since the bridges keep orientation. -Karoo)

(Filters at the exit should ensure no smuggling powerups between levels. Entering a filter with a powerup breaks the trail effect, but I dont understand puzzlescript well enough to fix it -foxblit)
(The trail effect also breaks sometimes when the a powerup is lost for other reasons; e.g. on csouvey level pressing UDU at the beginning breaks the trail. I tried for a bit to fix this, but didn't make any progress -csouvey)

(If the player pickes up x number of Midas Things, should the player be able to execute Midas touches x times? (Here x is a positive integer.) -Heiegg)
	(Resolved this as one midas at a time - midas pickups can't be collected when midas power is active. -wryandbeary)

(I noticed that if the player has Thing power-up on a bridge, they don't need to obey that bridge's orientation. Should that be fixed? Or made into a level? -souvey)

(Midas Ray is triggered when you touch a Midas Thing with Midas Touch,
propegates in the direction you touched it until it hits a Wall, Obstruction,

Feel free to change if it stops at Obstruction Blocks or not if it doesn't break
any levels, I'm not quite sure about that.)

Level that intoduces Midas Ray
I wanted the solution to require changing the sequence of actions, skipping the Midas Ray at first (which is seemingly forced and serves as a Midas Ray tutorial at first) by wasting it on an Obstruction Block in the up-right area, and only doing it later, but I couldn't quite make it work..
Entrance could be moved to the left side in the same connected area if it doesn't connect well, and level could be reordered
