Missile on ice exploit

Using the missile power up on ice seems like a very convenient way to travel.

Now after every race a screenshot gets saved of the final race paths. We'll analyse thousands of those using microscopes and wearing lab coats.

This race shows me beating the auto pilot players. Indeed we've spend a limited amount of time on the auto pilot script.

Chalo Chalo thoughts after Multiplayer Game Picnic #3.

• Amp visual feedback for explosions even more with very brief display of: rays, dark screen overlay.
• Power-up: Ranged blast weapon with kick-back for the launcher
• Power-up: Horizontal mirroring of the terrain (can be interpreted different ways). Thanks to Jan Willem.
• Trinity: avoid ice 'exploit' by making the direction that clones appear always perpendicular to a line towards the goal. (Many don't 'get' trinity at the moment, underpowered?).
• Lassoo: ranged weapon. when opponent is hit, firer and opponent are pushed towards each other (proportionally to the distance between them).
• Stun gun. Add slight 'homing' behaviour to projectiles.

A big thanks to everyone who played, and gave praise, constructive criticism and suggestions.

Pow! #prettymistakes

Trinity

Tuning the 'Trinity' power up before applying the 'uses' limit.

Tuning the Gust power-up.
