1.7.0 2022-04-01 - Giant overhaul
** Platform **
* Available on the Atari 2600 and flipphones.
** Hacking **
* Now gated by a real life subscription to Nord-west VPN
* Is now considered rude, thus lowers karma.
** PVP **
* Added PVP, you can now hack other players.
** New location **
* Added new location "Outer Space" to the travel agency. Traveling to Outer Space results in the player instantly dying, resetting your save file.
** UI **
* Upgraded to support VR
* Removed all whitespace from the UI to make room for added features
* Defaults to light theme
* UI moved up 3px to accomodate average player height

** API **
* No longer supports javascript, now supports python, befunge, and whitespace.
* Added ‘willScriptHalt’ (collecting my nobel prize soon)
** Stock Market **
* The stock market now has a net worth of $25, allowing players to buy large portions of the market earlier in the game
** Hashnet **
* Hashes can no longer be spent
** Keystrokes **
* Combat stats now tied to keyboard stroke (press hard = more strength, type quickly = more agi)
