Decided to start from scratch. Didn't look at any old code of mine at all as I wanted to use my techniques I had learned since taking a break for a few years.

What is interesting about this release is a use of shaders. The entire background has color manipulation and "shimmering" very similar to the Crystal Snail stage in Mega Man X2. I really like how it turned out.

Other things that are a bit different is a horizontal health bar, air dashing, X2 style Zero combo(when you have to fight him in X2), and a completely changed system for the player.

The old system was one player object with a HUGE amount of code that ran as a state manager. It worked and worked well, but I wanted to try my new methods.

There is a parent player object to handle "global" code, but each action is actually a separate object/instance. This cuts the code WAY down as I down have to do redundancy to make sure sprrites are correct, speed is correct, etc. If I need to change code, I simply open up the object and go at it without having to dig through 1000+ lines of code.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!
