Online Co-op / Merchant: Item index changes abruptly

[ChrisNZL]

As of version 0.3.0a, using the Merchant in an online game with multiple players at once has some issues:

Quality of Life issue : as a client, when shopping, the shop list resets and brings me back to the first item whenever another player buys or sell something.

• first issue : it's "annoying" to cycle back to the inventory page that you were at. it mostly prevents a player from buying anything while another player is interacting with the shopkeeper
• second issue : if you were about to press (A) to buy and the inventory refresh at the same time, there's a possibility to buy the first item from the list

Ideas for improvement:

• [x] Fix issue of player's cursor always resetting to index 0 when a transaction happens
• [x] Have items be greyed out after they are purchased by other players, to prevent player from purchasing the wrong item if the menu item orders change
• [x] Have new items (sold by other players) be to the list without disrupting current index ordering

Fixed and improved in 0.3.1.

Merchant & Inventory categories:

• Fixed many cases of cursor index resetting poorly. Cursor is now better at remembering what item you had selected previously.

Online Co-op:

• Items in the Buy tab now show either [Purchased] or [Sold Out] after a transaction happens, and persist within the Buy tab.
• Items sold from other players that the Merchant did not previously have are added elegantly to the list without disrupting the cursor position.
