Game Now has Better Compression

Anyway to the actual update, there's a few minor changes like the spacing of the settings menu has now been slightly tweaked and the description of a quirk from the complex set has been tweaked to work better with quirks from the experimental set (the experimental set is only for the full version fyi, sorry!).

Next major change is the compression logic. In case you weren't aware, to make sure the cards don't simply go offscreen a pile with a lot of cards will start compressing the cards to make sure everything is on screen.

When playtesting, the only friend that attempted to do this was basically just trying to stress test my game instead of actual playing, so for the development of the demo I consider this as a non issue. But recently, one of the decks for the full version do cause situations where the player will constantly have a bunch of cards in one pile. So the logic has been turned to compress the cards in a more, quadratic manner. Again, unless you are purposely doing this, it is a non-issue in the demo version, but it won't hurt to bring this change to it.

Final major change that you can see from the screenshots are the very colorful cards. I don't know how any of that happened, the second that it became June 1st, the cards simply just did that. Can't really find a way to change it back and to be honest, I don't want do. So yeah, again, happy pride month everyone ! :3
