Lethal Jumpany for the PintoBoy

Adds a new scrap item that lets you play a minigame while you adventure.

“Introducing Lethal Jumpany! Try to beat the highscore in this accurate depiction of what an employee goes through on the job! Releasing for the PintoBoy on December 20th, ‘89!”
is what was written on an old poster advertising the game.

Sadly, production of this “training software” was stopped by the Company after the first wave distracted employees on the job so much that they had to be let go before making a profit.

Some units can still be found in facilities scattered around the solar system.

Future Updates

• Adding new games to the PintoBoy
• Adding cartridges and cartridge swapping
• Performance fixes

[2.0.0]

Additions

• added new game "Facility Dash"
  • fight off and hide from monsters by tapping or holding the button in this accurate simulation of what its like to fend off monsters in the facilities.
  • it is random what game a PintoBoy will spawn with
• added 9 new colors of PintoBoy
  • White, Charcoal, Red, Peach, Banana, Mint, Teal, Turquoise, Sky Blue, Fairy
• added ability to hold the PintoBoy's button
  • Facility Dash: holding makes the player hide
  • Lethal Jumpany: holding longer makes the player jump higher
• revamped the PintoBoy model
  • the polygon count is way lower while keeping the same aesthetic
  • added new Select/Start buttons and speaker grill textures to make it look less plain
• changed screen resolution of the PintoBoy from 160x160 to 120x120
  • this is to help visual clarity of the PintoBoy screen while it is in your hand
  • adjusted Lethal Jumpany to account for this while keeping the feel of how it originally played
• Lethal Jumpany: There is now a chance a spider will spawn right after a lootbug when your score is higher
• the sprite palette was slightly altered

Performance changes

• lowered the resolution of the PintoBoy item icon. It did not need to be 1080x1080 lol
• more than halved the polygon count of the PintoBoy model. less useless detail while still keeping the same aesthetic
• lowered the resolution of the PintoBoy model textures while also adding an additional speaker texture to make it look nicer

Fixes

• fixed the PintoBoy having a weight of -82lbs. It now weighs 10lbs (Thanks @nyctodarkmatter for pointing it out)
• fixed the battery of the PintoBoy not working correctly (Thanks @brawleyiscringe for pointing it out)
• set some scannode properties to their correct values
• fixed the price of the PintoBoy
• fixed the screens of PintoBoys not despawning when leaving those PintoBoys on a planet
  • this would cause insane performance dips if many PintoBoys were spawned in previous rounds and the lobby wasn't reset
