New quickbar is in place. For now this'll do. I think I am gonna add some auto-hiding once I get UI animations going.
Still not sure if the player should decide in which slots new parts getting added cause personally I am kinda into the FIFO style. Less inputs, quicker iteration.

Spawn snapping just got a bit smarter. Some parts of Marble Game are very flexible in their use. Like pipes make sense horizontally and vertically. For such ambiguity, the game now auto-determines the alignment of a connection. Works pretty well.

I am truly happy with the state of Saturday Marble Game now.
Building and modifying machines has become so much easier now and while I still want to do so much more, I would almost feel safe to release it like this to the world. But I won't yet. :)

When I thought of being able to move around multiple parts at the same time, I thought how complicated it would be to prevent the player from clipping them into the ground.
But turns out my implementation just automagically takes care of it.

Here's a marble machine pretending to be a sink with siphon in these trying times.

Success! I can now connect procedural tracks to joints as well!
The code is still a bit jank, but I'll clean that up next week.

One big downside of the system is that it's not smart enough to detect neighbors and attempt to connect together to them (as shown in the video).
And due to the extreme flexibility of how parts can be designed and placed, this will never be possible, I'm afraid.

Main logic to spawn parts on joints/connectors of others is in. Uses basic scoring system based on flow direction of marbles through the parts (in/out) and direction (horiz/vert).
It can't be perfect due to some parts being very flexible in their use, but it tries.

Today I am playing with the idea to spawn a new part directly on a joint of another.
Still needs a function to determine the best joint to connect to the selected one, but at least the spawning already works.
