Working an editor for A Short Bike Plus (deluxe?) with auto-tiling so making changes will be fast and players can make their own levels.

While fixing bugs for #picotron 0.2.2 I ended up yak-shaving quite far into future features, so here's what native window exports look like.

tldr: export -n foo.bin to get a binary that runs as an arbitrary sized window directly on the host desktop.

Trying out chooser() for #picotron 0.2.2: a simpler way to select one or more files / carts / folders without messing around with create_process() and on_event() to interact with filenav.

Added a temp shop, viewing the draw and discard pile (sorted to prevent order info), unit playing restrictions, and the start of the opponent's AI. (will eventually add health indicators)

Getting closer to a proper combat loop.
