v1.1.0 - Deterministic Platformer

Hello,

In this launch (v1.1.0), I have added two new scenes. 

• Platformer:
  • A deterministic approach to moving platforms. Uses trigonometric functions to calculate position over time:
    • SIN
    • COS
  • Currently has support for:
    • Translation
    • Rotation
    • Scaling
  • To have better control, I have added support for (these yield interesting results):
    • Modulo (Not in Scaling)
    • Negation (Not in Scaling)
• Platformer with Bullet Hell:
  • I was experimenting with the Bullet Spawner with the platformer movement mechanics.
    • These add some more nuance and interesting patterns
  • Feel free to explore!

Along with these two, there are some changes, both internally and externally. Some streamlining of UI aesthetic, along with a minor overhaul of certain elements from the previous Major Update.

I have also added:

• Measurement with reference axis:
  • This is a barebones bounds system to compare the system with a reference or other points/settings.
    • Will be improved upon in later Updates.
• Rudimentary Camera Controls have these features:
  • Right Click Hold to Orbit
  • Mouse Scroll to Zoom
  • Camera Projection switch between Orthographic and Perspective (2D to 3D)
    • This helps to understand better what happens with the addition of depth, among others
  • This will be improved upon in later Updates.

The Road Ahead:

• On the UI side, I plan to add a tool tip system
• Improvements in some core areas 
• Fixes and Tweaks
• New Ideas Bounce Board

I have a few ideas for the next feature. Still, I am undecided yet to choose from a pure mathematical topic (Fourier Series in Audio Processing / Wave generation, etc.), an algorithmic topic (Pathfinding with different techniques or basic Visualisation for Algorithms like Sorting, Searching, etc.) or maybe entirely go for shaders, which I have been meaning to learn for a long time. Perhaps, maybe a combination of these aforementioned topics. Feel free to suggest some in the comments. Feedback is highly appreciated.
