--- Space Invasion Code Follows (1.1)
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
-- VERSION HISTORY
----------------
-- version 0.1
----------------
-- conversion of tumbler into space invasion
-- a million and one changes
-- bells and whistles

----------------
-- version 0.2
----------------
-- code slowly getting cleaner, it still looks like a spaghetti monster tho
-- lots of console tracking :/
-- all visual gears are now compulsary (will probably revert this)
-- implemented fMod to try combat desyncs and bring this in line with dev

----------------
-- version 0.3
----------------
-- values of scoring changed to 3:10, and now based on vCircScore
-- time gained from killing a red circ increased from 3 to 4
-- circles now spawn at a distance of at least 800 or until sanity limit
-- roundsLimit now based off MinesTime (kinda, its an experiment)

-----------------
--0.4
-----------------
-- commented out a lot of WriteLnToConsoles (dont need them at this point)
-- added some different WriteLnToConsoles
-- changed some of the collision detect for explosives in checkvarious()

-----------------
--0.5
-----------------
-- added implementation for a projectile shield
-- added a "bonus" orange invader that partially recharges player shield
-- added a tough "blueboss" blue invader
-- expanded user feedback
-- circles now have health and are capable of being merely "damaged"
-- redid a lot of the collision code and added CircleDamaged
-- added more sounds to events
-- added more visual gears

-----------------
--0.6
-----------------
-- removed a few WriteLns
-- added randomized grunts on circ damage
-- added (mostly) graceful fading out of circles :D:
-- changed odds for circles
-- changed user feedback
-- fixed the location of the explosion where player bashes into circ

-----------------
--0.7
-----------------
-- added PlaySound(sndSuddenDeath) when ammo gets depleted
-- added an extra "Ammo Depleted" note if user presses fire while empty
-- specified how much shield power is gained on shield powerup collection
-- changed odds for circles AGAIN, ammo is now sliiightly more common
-- switched most of the explosions/smoke effects back to non-critical vgears (with a few exceptions)
-- tumbletime is now based off turntime and is variable
-- delete explosives in DeleteFarFlungBarrel rather than explode them on map boundaries to save on performance
-- utilized the improved AddCaption to tint / prevent overrides
-- temporarily disabled bugged sort that displays teams according to their score
-- reluctantly changed the colour of the bonus circ to purple
-- standarized point notation
-- added some missing locs
-- commented out remaining WriteLnToConsoles for the meanwhile with the prefix "nw"

-- ACHIEIVEMENTS added
-- (during one turn) aka repeatable
-- Ammo Manic (Destroy 3 green circles for + 5 points)
-- Drone Hunter (Destroy 5 red circles for + 10 points)
-- Shield Seeker (Destroy 3 purple circles for +10 points)
-- Boss Slayer (Destroy 2 blue circles for +25 points)

-- Shield Master (disolve 5 shells for +10 points)
-- Shield Miser (don't use your shield at all (3.5*roundkills)+2 points)

-- Depleted Kamikaze! (kamikaze into a blue/red circ when you are out of ammo) 5pts
-- Timed Kamikaze! (kamikaze into a blue/red circ when you only have 5s left) 10pts
-- Kamikaze Expert (combination of the above two) 15pts

-- Multi-shot (destroy more than 1 invader with a single bullet) 15pts
-- X-Hit Combo (destroy another invader in less than 3 seconds) chainLength*2 points

-- Accuracy Bonus (80% accuracy at the end of your turn with more than 5 shots fired) 15pts

--(during the length of the game) aka non-repeatable
-- 10/25/50 kills (+25/+50/+100 points)

-----------------
--0.8
-----------------
-- added a HUD for turntimeleft, ammo, shield
-- shieldhealth hits 0 properly

------------------------
-- version 0.8.1
------------------------

-- stop hiding non-existant 4th Tag
-- redraw HUD on screen resolution change

------------------------
-- version 0.9
------------------------
-- time for more 'EXPERIMENTS' mwahahahahahaha D:
-- (hopefully) balanced Shield Miser
-- bosses are no longer a redunkulous 50 points, but toned down to 30
-- experimental radar (it's INTERACTIVE and math-heavy :D) (visual gears are safe... right? D:)
-- bugfix and balance for multishot

------------------------
-- version 1.0
------------------------
-- if only version numbers actually worked like this, wouldn't that be awful :D
-- added surfer achievement
-- increased value of shield miser by 1 point per kill (OP?)

------------------------
-- version 1.1
------------------------
-- fixed radar so that blips dont go past circs when you get very close
-- added a missing loc for shield depletion
-- increased delay to 1000 to try stop noobies missing their turn
-- added sniper achievement for hits from over a 1000000 away
-- added achievement for 3 "sniper" shots in a round
-- added achievement for 3 "point blank" shots in a round
-- added "fierce Competition" achievement for shooting an enemy hog (once per round)
-- some support for more weapons later

--------------------------
--notes for later
--------------------------
-- maybe add a check for a tie, IMPOSSIBRU THERE ARE NO TIES
-- more achievements? (3 kamikazes in a row, supreme shield expert/miser etc?)

-- if more weps are added, replace primshotsfired all over the place

-- look for derp and let invaders shoot again

-- more weps? flamer/machineballgun,
-- some kind of bomb that just drops straight down
-- "fire and forget" missile
-- shockwave

-- some kind of ability-meter that lets you do something awesome when you are
-- doing really well in a given round.
-- probably new kind of shield that pops any invaders who come near

-- fix game never ending bug
-- fix radar
-- new invader: golden snitch, doesn't show up on your radar

-- maybe replace (48/100*vCircRadius[i])/2 with something better
