Changes for version 0.33

  • Added a GridPlane actor for generating wolfenstein-like levels
  • Added a basic Fog implementation. Because it doesn't really mix well with the skybox I've kept the intensity and range down so it looks a little like a light ground mist. It will do for now.
  • Added partially working eight-sided sprite of a Wolfenstein guard.
