A 3D shape in each corner #73

Closed schrum2 closed 6 years ago

Let's add 3D shapes to the game! Put one 3D shape in each corner of the room. This is the starting point ... simply having them in the room.

Once this works, we can have a way of evolving them. I want them to be a separate evolutionary lineage (meaning a different archetype). I'm not sure how to do selection though ... when the user goes through a portal, which shapes evolve? We can allow the user to collect shapes in their inventory, but which shape will be the primary parent?

Here is an idea: One mouse button is used to select art items for the inventory. Portals and shapes selected in the same way. However, the other button will designate a 3D shape as the primary parent. This action can put a red box outline around the shape on the floor perhaps.

You may need to complete #70 to make this practical.

It shouldn't be too hard to get SavedScultures on the same inventory bar as the SavedArtworks and evolve them in a similar way as with artwork crossovers / mutation chances
