Grid system and controls update

Hello Splashy Friends!

Finally back at it with splish now that we've cooled down from the 16th Priate Software Game Jam.

This update has a few changes:

  • Grid system implemented for spawning/layout of rowking tasks, cargo, puddles, and leaks
    • This helps make things look nicer and also sets us up to be able to create a custom, more complex grid system to overlay additonal logic on how things behave (future update)
  • Controls updated to be "select" and "act"
    • See game page description for updated controls
    • Select (green highlight) is used to take crew members as followers that can be assigned to act on various things around the boat
    • Act (orange highlight) is used to assign followers to resolve things/perform actions around the boat

We'll see how this all shakes out in playtesting and make any adjustments as needed.

Known issue introduced:

  • Individual leaks can sometimes become untargetable/unassignable. We'll be looking to fix this before moving on to anything new, but it's not necessarily game breaking for playtest
