got basic room switching working. the plan is to store only a bump map for each room and decorate on load that so the world can be quite big.

more randomness to the particles. different directions and floatiness.

to save sprite slots I think I'll use about 4 particles with different fixed behaviours. like the ghosts in Pac-Man that look more random and complex than they really are.

made a 8x8 pixel font so I can actually get some debug info on the screen. been doing almost without for too long… :)

@hbons This is a nice font. πŸ˜„ Too nice to be used just for debug info, haha.
@SirEdav thanks! I'll also use it for some menu stuff. I don't think there's memory for a whole lot of dialogue sadly. :)
