MAIN CHANGES

Added text selection/copy/paste to the console

---

A cart can be saved and distributes as a PNG image, use save game.png command.

---

TIC-80 can work like a compiler without UI with --cli command line parameter, for example here we load game.tic cart from current dir (use --fs .) and export it as game.exe executable for Windows:

$ ./tic80 --cli --fs . --cmd "load game.tic & export win game.exe & exit"

cart game.tic loaded!
use RUN command to run it

GET /export/0.90/win [100%]

game.exe exported :)

Also, games can be exported without access to the editors with alone=1 flag (PRO feature)
export linux game.exe alone=1

---

The help command was redesigned and you can get info about spec/ram/api/command/...

>help

usage: help [<text>|version|welcome|
spec|ram|vram|commands|api|startup|
terms|license]

>help api
API functions:
OVR SCN TIC btn btnp circ circb clip 
cls elli ellib exit fget font fset key 
keyp line map memcpy memset mget mouse 
mset music peek peek4 pix pmem poke 
poke4 print rect rectb reset sfx spr 
sync textri time trace tri trib tstamp

>help sync
---=== API ===---
sync(mask=0 bank=0 tocart=false)

The pro version of TIC-80 contains 8 
memory banks.
To switch between these banks, sync can 
be used to either load contents from a 
memory bank to runtime, or save 
contents from the active runtime to a 
bank.
The function can only be called once 
per frame.If you have manipulated the 
runtime memory (e.g. by using mset), 
you can reset the active state by 
calling sync(0,0,false).
This resets the whole runtime memory to 
the contents of bank 0.Note that sync 
is not used to load code from banks; 
this is done automatically.

Another useful thing you can export whole help info in Markdown format, use command export help cheatsheet.md

---

Added mouse capture functionality to receive relative values instead of the current cursor position (useful in first-person 3D games), the cursor is hidden and this mode. To enable this mode pls use poke(0x7FC3F,1,1) command.
Small example with enabling the relative mode:

function flip(val)return val>0 and 0 or 1 end

function TIC()
	if btnp(4)then 
		poke(0x7FC3F,flip(peek(0x7FC3F,1)),1)
	end	
		
	cls()
	local x,y=mouse()
	print(x..":"..y)
end

---

Added baremetal/rpi/3ds builds to Github Actions and all the Nightly Builds can be downloaded here https://nightly.link/nesbox/TIC-80/workflows/build/master

---

Now you can change bit mode in the map editor

---

On Android, you can switch between the system keyboard and TIC-80 internal keyboard

Hardware keyboard now detects automatically.

Got the surprise of my life to find out I'd been credited, I only changed one word!
