[ 0. THE SLAM PHILOSOPHY ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The name "Slam" is a direct tribute to the 1996 cinematic classic SPACE JAM.
It captures that high-energy, "everything-is-possible" crossover spirit
where completely different worlds collide on one stage. By going Open-Source,
we ensure the "Slam" legacy lives on through the hands of the fans.

[ 1. PROJECT HISTORY & EVOLUTION ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• 2009: THE LEGACY ROOTS (Super Smash Bros. Slam)
Originally created by Twister32. Hosted on the YoYo Games Archive. More
than a simple remake, it established the "Slam" brand in Game Maker.
• 2020: THE RELAUNCH
A modern revival using Smash Crusade (v0.1 - v0.8.4) as a reference point.
• 2024: M.U.G.E.N FULL GAME EXPERIMENT
A pivot into the M.U.G.E.N engine to test traditional 2D fighting mechanics
and high-fidelity sprite work (CHOUJIN/Z2 style).
• 2025: THE PLATFORMER EXPERIMENT
Rebuilt using the Springroll Games Engine to test platforming physics.
• 2026: THE NEW ERA (NEW Super Smash Bros. Slam)
Total rebirth in Game Maker. Combining the 2009 legacy, M.U.G.E.N precision,
and Gemini AI coding. Officially declared OPEN-SOURCE.

[ 4. STAGE ADDING GUIDE (FOR DEVELOPERS) ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To add custom stages in the Game Maker project:
1. CREATE THE ROOM: Create a new room (e.g., `stage_new_stage`).
2. REGISTER THE ID: In `scr_stage_init`, add the logic:
if (name == "newID") global.stage_room[i] = stage_new_stage;
3. ASSIGN MUSIC: In `scr_music_data`, link the ID to an FMOD sound file:
if (global.selected_stage == "newID") scr_play_music("theme.ogg");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 5. KNOWN ISSUES & BUG TRACKER (ALPHA 0.1.1) ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• COLLISION: Fighters may clip through moving platforms on Onett/Mute City.
• AI BEHAVIOR: CPUs can become unresponsive trapped under Battlefield geometry.
• SPRITE FLICKER: Depth-sorting issues with large CHOUJIN/CvS sprite overlaps.
• AUDIO: FMOD loop points may drift during long sessions on some hardware.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
