Working on ZPF again, new Flying V demo soon..

Maybe it was just burnout from working on the same thing for so long (Flying V); but i started tinkering with ZPF again.



- Updated enemy bullet patterns. No more messiness, patterns screwing up once the enemy starts/stops moving.

- New sound effects (mostly from Kyutwo.com and Shockwave Sound.) The ones I had made in SFXR were generally fine until they all played at the same time..ugh.

- Options (into which the Enemy Test mode is embedded)

- Enemy Test is more configurable and up to date with FV's now. You can select variations on the current enemy's behavior/ movement patterns, how many times to loop, and number of steps between loops. (1 step = 1/60th a second)

- New Maximum Fire mode which replaces each weapon's previous level 3 setting. When the meter is visible (the flaming sword in the HUD), hold X to a fire a more powerful shot.
- You can now use all three ship variants I've made so far.


---------------------------
New FV demo coming soon, too.

I had to cut down some of the content of level 1, leaving stuff that could be added in other places. Basically, the demo will have 3 levels instead of 2 now, although they will probably be on the short side. I think I just need a few more enemy types to fill in the gaps that are there.
