For version 0.7.4:

Major changes/fixes:

• Added modulatory synapse type — it increases/decreases the effect of OTHER nearby synapses.
• Added creature autosave — if desktop crashes/closes in a strange way, the game will auto-load the last creature when you open it back up.
• Added channel detail panel — shift+click a channel to see the rules that govern it. Can also change ion concentrations in the cell.
• Added cell recorder — enable it through the options menu to record up to 30 seconds of cell activities to a .csv file.
• New save/load screen, including a confirmation window for overwriting local creatures.
• Ganglia can send connections between each other as described here.
• Fixed online save/load by moving from my janky personal server to google cloud storage. I had to re-save all creatures so some got purged, but I saved as many as I could.
• Fixed saving locally on mac. Now saves creatures and logs to /<user>/Documents/CrescentLoom/

Smaller changes/fixes:

• Reduced draw calls for neuron detail panel by chunking them. There may be a little bit of jitter on the edges, but it's way faster.
• Added rainbow color to the palette. Body parts and lights can now rotate through the spectrum.
• Made controls cheatsheet, accessible through the menu.
• Added small amount of jitter to pacemaker neurons to allow them to drift out of sync.
• Gave all cells 3-letter words as IDs (e.g. "JAM" or "GAY") for the ganglion connection menu.
• Can change options while ingame via the hamburger menu.
• Click+drag the background to move camera (rather than needing to use WASD).
• Did a refactoring pass to hopefully improve the lag problems.
• Hold ctrl while dragging a part to lock it in place and modify angle instead.
• Added harpoon body part.
• Eyes have slider values for range, arc, and sensitivity.
• Made delay neuron more reliable.
• HTML5 can load a number of shipped creatures “from disc” while offline. (still can’t save locally tho)
• Undo undoes an entire muscle instead of one segment at a time.
