NOR NAND

possible bug fixes for the crouch lock bug

tech: NAND gate -  at the start of a level set flip-flop to "on"
tech: NOR gate - do 50% more damage when the flip-flop is in the "off" state

-adding orbitals puts a random # of mobs in front of target, and shield behind
+(once for me, and a few times for discord) player gets stuck in crouch animation
+  occured after rerolling a power up (which triggered a switchWorlds)
+  can't jump, move slow
+  m.crouch = false
+  only fixed itself when you click fire (drones, so no recoil)
+    fire fixes:
+      if (m.holdingTarget) m.drop()
+        so probably the player is getting stuck holding a block, but the block is removed
+          what removes blocks?
+  fixed? I added:  if (m.holdingTarget) m.drop();   to powerUps.endDraft  and to   m.switchWorlds
