more orbs in text

replaced tech, field, and gun text with orbs
  orbs length scale with px->em
cleaned up simulation variables text in pause menu
some minor tech description changes
total tech count no longer includes instant tech or removed tech

tech: planned obsolescence - at the start of each level eject your oldest tech and gain 1.1 damage

heuristics 1.3 -> between 1 and 1.5 fire rate
combinatorial optimization 1.35->1.4 damage

difficulty reduction per level
  0.85->0.87x damage done
  1.23->1.22 damage taken

tech - at the start of each new level eject the oldest tech you have and gain 10% damage
merge multiple power ups of the same type if nearby
5-10 ammo, research, coupling can merge to form a slightly larger power up version
check for merger possibility every 60 seconds?
adjust mass spawns to just spawn larger power ups versions and change?

******************************************************** BUGS ********************************************************
bug: maybe I can put in an event listener to reset inputs to false when you tab out to prevent key sticking
bug - url sharing still broken sometimes
tech upgrade to anthropic principle to make it trigger at 50% life and 0% once per map
bug? cloaking field doesn't show energy over max
run more profiles of n-gon to fix performance issues
bug - death while paused crashes game?
bug: possibly clearing away all bullets causes a problem
bullet.js 255 (.do() is missing)
I died and quantum immortality triggered (I had needles and ice-IX)
game crashed but recovered
vanish element bug, crashes on touching element, happens for 1 person maybe with junk tech?
safari issues
once: can't pick up blocks
fixed on new map
cloaking field
once: after damage, locked into slow time mode
fixed on damage
3 times player head graphics not rotating
left/right leg flip broke
walk leg direction, legs are walking backwards
happened maybe after power up selection menu??
cloaking field(at least once)
aiming still works
fixed on new map, although flip still broken (is flip a separate issue?)
flip fixed on new game
sharing builds as html doesn't work for long lists...
it shouldn't be sharing undefined at all
probably some other problems too
(this might be fixed...)
blocks on buttons teleport into the button endlessly if they are being slowly floated away
maybe add a cooldown?
can't reproduce
ants marching outline doesn't sync right on safari anymore.
door to exit in level: vats does nothing
did I do that?
death while in power up selection menu doesn't reset properly
of course it's not possible to die in this menu unless you use testing and shift+X
player can become crouched while not touching the ground if they exit the ground while crouched
a couple times people have reported the final boss dropping extra bodies on death
blue triangle boss can move backwards and aim away from you if set up properly
issues with dot product probably, but might not be worth fixing
mouse event e.which is deprecated
fix door.isClosing actually meaning isClosed?
make it so that when you are immune to harm you can either jump on mobs or you pass through them
is there a way to check if the player is stuck inside the map or block
trigger a short term non-collide if that occurs
(intermittent, but almost every time) bug - capping the fps causes random slow downs, that can be fixed with pause
