--- Space Invasion Code Follows (0.7)
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
-- 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 +20 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) 5pts
-- 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)

--------------------------
--notes for later
--------------------------
-- maybe add a check for a tie, NAH
-- more achievements? (3 kamikazes in a row, long distance shooter, supreme shield expert/miser etc?)
