Week 2 progress on Smashed. I've also asked ChatGPT for some alternative names - it's really quite helpful

This week has been quite productive, fixing a few things and adding a little bit of polish. This weeks changes...

Updated the lightning effect. It was originally an animation of four lightning images randomly flipping which didn't look good. Now, I've added a lightning effect which creates particle emitters along a line. There are waypoints along the line to add a slight random direction element. More to do, but its a start. Check out the gif
Creating a wall when 2 wall tiles are pushed together now builds the wall as an animation instead of just adding the wall to the playfield. This could definitely do with a sound effect though.
