stella: Improve starfish collision shape & let it spin#1988
Merged
Conversation
Previously the starfish projectile sprite was offset slightly from the centre, and the collision shape was inherited from the generic projectile. Zero the positions. Give it a star-shaped collision polygon. Unset lock_rotation so that it can spin when ricocheting off obstacles. I made this change while demonstrating to Justin why the new approach of having separate projectile scenes is worth the trade-off of having more copies of very similar scenes, then decided it is actually worth pushing.
