Lichen beta 1.6

Hello!

Lichen beta 1.6 is (technically) out! I say technically because there’s little functional difference from 1.5. The main change is I ported the entire game from C to python! Turns out, almost all the code I had written is already included in pygame, so the last few months kind of feel like a waste of time. I learned a lot though, so maybe it wasn’t truly a waste.

I also added some functionality. Lichen now autosaves when you close it. File loading and saving now work. I also decided not to use my own save file format, like I originally planned to, due to python supporting json’s functionality via dictionaries. Audio also plays smoother now, and there are no pops when music starts or ends. Very nice!

With how fast development is in python now, the first playable version (beta 1.7) will probably be out in a few days, so be on the lookout for that.

Thank you for reading! Nathan
