new procgen code testing, day 2

the star generation is running once again finally. sorry it took a year but the game engine switchover took a while and for the engine itself to update some things.

expanding ship hull generation to include some hullplating over the current gaps. WIP, and there's gaps in the coverage but those are getting patched

some weaknesses being addressed and features added

-games not spooky enough yet

-too one note if its the same type of ship over and over again

-out of map boundaries and can i make the level endless?

-level variety still too dry and empty

HARMONY VOID is back ontrack with some huge design improvements and a setting change back to outerspace proper, specifically onto smaller scale procedurally generated spaceships.

good news: endless generation of multiple ships is possible, as is progression with travel

bad news: crossing a gap for five boring minutes is unacceptable

possible solution: no more spaceships? switch to endless terrain?

main menu controls work now. work on the new game start of setting the factions properties can begin now. after that, i can plug that info into the world generation, and we're off into gameplay.

first item: more new enemies for the roster.

second item: level generation is now able to give the ship a stable hull. this took a while because as it turns out the math to determine "outside edge of the ship" was a bit more complex then first intended.
