1-body problem

tech: 1-body problem - do 100% damage if there is only 1 active bullet

experiment mode and junk tech: random aiming

bug fix - sniper, shooter aiming might be improved (no more firing backwards)
  or maybe I just made it worse, let me know

bug fix - Shift registers

working on rewriting the way backgrounds and foregrounds are drawn on each level (in progress)
