Functionality

- Added the option to show launch trajectories

- Added jump_horizontal_accel and double_jump_horizontal_accel to control how much players can change their speeds when jumping

Fixes
- All stages now use the same layer names for required layers
- Fixed an issue where moves with zero knockback would apply the knockback of the last move that hit the opponent
- Character select screen background is no longer 1 pixel too small on the edges
- AI no longer requires an instance of obj_solid to be in the room
- Fire Hydrants now store the owner's palette_sprite and player_color in instance variables, which fixes a crash that would happen when two hydrants collided
- The camera should no longer go out of the boundaries due to camera shake
- Fixed an issue where you could sometimes tech attacks with very weak upwards knockback on the ground
- Fixed an issue where animations would not be set correctly for certain states
- Fixed an issue where magnetbox hit FX would not be draw at the correct angle
- Fixed multiple issues related to teching
- Hitbox lifetime is no longer 1 frame longer than it is set to. As a result, all hitboxes in premade attacks now have different lifetimes
- Fixed an animation issue where animations wouldn't stop sometimes
- Fixed a few issues related to hurtbox sprites
- The tech buffer is now reset after a successful tech so you can tech multihits
- Fixed an issue where holding the control stick up or down when double jumping would change the horizontal speed
