Controllers and co-op - v0.8

Hello everyone,

I took a looong summer break away from this project, which allowed me to go on the first vacation since COVID, recharging. Then, as the weather cooled down, I got back to work and I added 2 new huge features:

Controller support

You can now play the game using any (well, almost any) game controllers and joysticks. These don’t just include the widely used XBOX and Playstation controllers, but all of the almost 2000 devices supported by the SDL library. The only time you must still use a keyboard is when creating a new profile, and typing in its name. All the menus, and actions work with controllers now. In the future, I might implement a method to input the profile name without a keyboard, let me know if you would be interested in this!

Local co-op

Building upon controller support, you can now play together with someone else on the same machine, each of you with your own input devices: a keyboard and a controller, or even 2 different controllers. This is a co-op mode, beating the bosses together, but remember: bubbles do self-damage, so they also damage the other player. You will need to plan and communicate, sharing your skills and progression, but with your own name and look. Note that playthroughs (sessions) are linked to the player(s) involved, so you can have separate single-player and separate multi-player sessions at the same time, without them overwriting the other one.

Enjoy!

PS: new content, and new features coming soon!
