Beta 4 ready for action

Howdy. I've just posted a new version of Chunky Orbits and a dev diary video.

What's new:

  • Molten Chunk. A destructive projectile with fancy-schmancy particles.
  • Asteroid Belt. New option for rebooting your universe that spawns 150 small Absorbers that orbit a center stone.
  • The mini solar system Reboot now creates random orbits for the 3 planetoids plus a sparkly comet with elliptical orbit.
  • Adjusted the menu positions so they are less likely to intersect your other hand when activating.
  • Menus now disappear when you move away from them or spawn a new chunk.
  • Fixed a case where chunks would get stranded in space and not included in the gravity calculations.

Just a couple more weeks of working on the sim. If you have a suggestions or feedback now is a good time to send 'em my way.
