Version 6.00

Has it really been a year and a half since my last update? I'm sorry for the long absence; I've been pursuing a degree, and university has eaten up most of my time. But I'm not dead, and have returned for another update! ...that breaks code written in earlier versions, sorry. Fortunately, you should be able to update your code with a simple find/replace in your enemy database file. I've also gotten with the times and updated the packaging from .zip to .rar, which probably shaves off a few mircroseconds from the download.

• Renamed Enemies' actions property to logic to reduce confusion and free up the actions property for something else. If you update an existing game, you'll need to manually change your enemy database enemies to match this.
• Enemies' actions property now holds an array of strings, like the database entries for Puppets' actions property. By default this property is unused, but it may be useful if you ever want to algorithmically list an enemy's actions, such as for a bestiary entry.
• You can now bypass an enemy's AI routine and force them to use a particular action by assigning a valid action name to a new Enemy property, forcedAction.
• Added an attribute to the battle controller: atrKnown. This is a generic object that tracks the enemy's knowledge of the player party's elemental attributes. All are initially unknown, but are updated whenever a character is hit by an elemental attack.
• Added a new logic function: elementCheck. This returns an array of all Puppets who resist or are weak against a given element.
• Added element affinity logic to the targeting function.
• Actors now have a tags property.
• Added more comments to echoDamage to make it easier to follow.
• Finally disentangled the default actions/items/characters from the custom database files, so you won't need to overwrite them for new projects anymore. The data is still included in separate files so that the game can compile under the default initialization rules, but if your game doesn't use them they can be safely deleted.

Given my schedule I don't want to make any promises, but I am also working on a new experimental game. Or more accurately, I've resumed working on it after letting it stagnate for a year. Here's hoping I can finish it sooner rather than later.
