First Launch

This is the first demo release of Squadron: Mercenaries! I'm honestly not sure about the title yet.  It has the core mechanics of the flight and combat model for an old school space combat simulator.  

We can fly our spaceship, hit the after burners and do the shelton slide, cut the engines and drift, hit the brakes and turn sharply. But most importantly, fire all gun and let loose our weapons on a waves of enemy pilots =D

Now that the core mechanics of flight and combat are done the next step is to expand out the inputs to include joysticks/hotas and vr.  Then improve the enemy AI that right now if a placeholder and from there its about the larger game that floats around the combat.

The game is source available and you can check it out at https://github.com/abraini-Nascent/wingmercs

The todo-list of upcoming features is in the repo.
