The game is great! But my daughter is too young and the game too fast. I'd like to add an option to adjust speed. Where should should I start looking for?

Thanks for playing! I suggest investigating function gameLoop. Not far from main.

Hi! I was unable to find something related to "speed" inside gameLoop. I tried to put some unix usleep call but it slowdown entirely the SDL library and it is bad (so I reverted it). I have noticed there is a snake-slowdown effect and it seems related to updateBuffDuration (see player.h buffs variable inside Snake struct). Some advices to slow down te entire game (enemies, snake and so on...)?

In the meantime I have increased "herosSetting" which drives the number of heros which appears... https://github.com/daitangio/DungeonRush/tree/feature/speed-ajust I am still working on it anyway
