• Agent selection now possible from minimap, 2D view, and all 3D perspectives.
• Minimap can be made transparent or invisible.
• Agents no longer rendered at the wrong height in some cases.
• Speeds up when in focus and slows down when not in focus.
• Loading of projects with saved terrains is much faster.
• Camera control (via first-person and user-controlled) is smoother
• Say blocks work better in different camera perspectives
• No longer need to click on 3D window to enable keyboard input for models

Virtual Machine Changes:

• Loading projects now clears agents.
• Agents are no longer off by (0.5, 0.5) upon creation.
• get-agent-var-of blocks no longer return incorrect values.
• Collisions are now handled properly in projects with multiple breeds.
• Collisions work more reliably when agents die or hatch during collisions.
• Hatched agents now correctly receive copies of their parents agent-own variables.
• Collisions are now handled properly when agents or terrain have non-zero height.
