C++: Matrix Boards, QuickAnimate, Improved Animations, Drop Targets, Examples

What's New in v2.40

• Enable Testability in release builds to fix Apple Clang compiler bugs that break dynamic_cast (Enable testability must be on. If it's not, dynamic_cast will fail in certain circumstances, breaking the app. I have filed a bug with Apple)
• New: UIPlanner, UIPlan. Use to build UI models, and interpret them with ImGuiPlanPainter to create imGui UIs
• Use UIPlanner to add some basic inspector UIs. Example: flipX/flipY checkboxes for sprites, modulation color for renderer, etc.
• New: Checkers Example with QuickBuild animations. More QuickBuild options for quickly animating a scene
• Improved Life Example, optimizations
• MatrixBoardAnimation example that shows matrix board animations
• FileProcessorScene (work in progress) for file processors
• Added clang-format to Kaiju project
• Animation improvements: TimeTrack, Timeline, better AnimationCycleTimer, better Valve, Keyframe animations, etc.
• New: QuickAnimate for quickly building animations
• Playable improvements. Now supports driver that drives the playable
• New: TrackFramePlayable allows you to place animation frames as keyframes on a TimeTrack
• Camera can specify a clear color
• World now has frame rate limiter and stutter fix (breaks large deltas into smaller time steps)
• New: BlinkEffect for blink animations
• Quality of life improvements, more unit tests
• Layouts now build when needed
• New: GridMeshBuilder for rendering grids
