VoxHack v0.8.0 (alpha)

Also on itch.io: https://mreveryday.itch.io/voxhack

What's new in v0.8.0

• Achievements. 126 of them, Steam style: kept for you, not the character, from game to game and from one VoxHack version to the next. Reach Minetown, kill Medusa, wish, be crowned, ascend as each role, race and alignment, ascend with a conduct kept... Each pops up at the lower right as you earn it; the Achievements button (title screen and inventory) lists them all, the ones you haven't earned hidden as "???". Nothing counts in debug or explore mode.
• Status conditions are coloured by how bad they are, and the bad ones shake: deadly ones (Stone, Slime, Strangled, FoodPois, TermIll, Fainting...) red and shaking hard, dangerous ones (Stun, Held, Weak...) orange, the ones in your way (Blind, Conf, Hallu...) yellow. NetHack's other troubles now show too: Stone, Slime, Strangled, FoodPois, TermIll, InLava, Held, Trapped, Legs, Slippery, Deaf.
• The Minetown watch has a voice of its own.
• For modders: the VoxHack Editor has an "achievement_unlocked" sound hook and a "Minetown watch" speaker.

Your achievements are kept outside the game folder (in %APPDATA%\NetHackVoxel), so they carry over to new versions by themselves.

See CHANGELOG.md for everything since v0.1.0.
