New extension: Grid system

[pampogokiraly]

Description

This extension adds some useful tools to connect, move, and push objects around on a grid.

• Grid object behavior (handles most of the stuff behind the scenes)
• Actions to connect objects to each other (making them act as one bigger objects (these are called grobjects))
• The ability to move multiple objects at once.

How to use the extension

(copied from the extension's description)

1. Add the Grid object behavior to all objects that can interact with each other.
2. Set the grid size with the Set grid action.
3. Connect objects together to make more complex Grobjects (see below)
4. Flag objects that you want to move with the Flag for moving action.
5. Use the Calculate movement action to calculate which objects will move.
6. Use the Can move condition on the objects, and move them accordingly.

Important!
The extension often refers to things called "grobject". These are made of one or more connected objects with the Grid object behavior. Objects in the same grobject will stick to each other when calculating their movement.
It is important that you don't mix the two things together. An object is an object, and a grobject is one or more objects connected (yes. a single object on its own is also a grobject)!
