Added icons to a few buttons.

All text in the game now comes from a language file, making translations possible in the future.

Started working on a new feature called Logic Boxes. They work but the feature is not done yet.

> Started working on a new feature called Logic Boxes. They can be used to control level parts just like nodes (buttons, toggles, timers) can. Additionally, they can be controlled by nodes. A logic box can have one or more input and output pins. The pins are like nodes; the input pins can be toggled by other nodes, and the output pins can hide, show, and toggle any level parts. The behavior of a logic box is determined by its instructions.

Currently, logic box instructions are written in assembly language; specifically, the assembly language for the X3216 instruction set. The X3216 is a virtual 8-bit microprocessor that runs the logic boxes. At the moment, this feature is esoteric, but it will be expanded and made more accessible as I finish working on it. For now, info can be found in
