BattleCourt 1.0.2 Update focused on a lot of Behind the Scenes fixes with a complete code restructure on how strings, music, and images are handled in the Update and Draw ticks.
Originally the game was generating a lot of garbage causing the GC to fire constantly to clean up the unused data. Now the GC will rarely fire resulting in cleaner CPU use.
To go with the theme of Garbage Collection, 2 new Guns have been added. Garbage Gun, a T1 Rapid Firing Trash, and a Garbage Can Gun, a T3 Garbage Can Gun firing a Piercing Garbage Can.
