MAJOR UPDATE:
* added 1 player support vs COMPUTER! (simply type CZAR for 2nd player name)
* fixed severe game mechanic problem which prioritized the lower number animal during race collisions (e.g. an armed TIGER, because it is year 3, would always kill an armed DRAGON/SNAKE/HORSE/COCK). Now, when both animals are armed with rockets and they collide, neither animal dies
MINOR UPDATE:
* you may now use ENTER-key, SPACE BAR, or R-key to advance thru round screens
* sped up how quickly the animals for next round are revealed
* fixed bug which allows player to place rockets or stone outside game window
* reduced number of rockets that occurs when player wins (fanfare), in order to reduce lag -- but this algorithm is still based on winner's number of stones
* increased collision size of OX and COCK. this makes ox slightly worse, as he is prone to attacks, and cock slightly better, as he is an attacker
* fixed lingering shadows bug in game cards
* added effect when you hover rocket over game card
* cleaned up the rocket sprites (graphics) used during betting rounds
* reduced overall number of sound effects to speed up game
* lowered the volume on some sounds
* stopped all animal race sounds when first animal crosses finish line
COMING SOON:
* fix the bug which causes game window to minimize during player name & bet input screens. this bug is nefarious and annoying, and it will be fixed, I promise!
* high score table
COMING EVENTUALLY:
* ability to throw rockets during betting screen
* between round mini-game?
