Version 2.0.0 release tracker

[DiddiLeija]

This is the Diddi and the Bugs 2.0.0 release tracker. We've made a few cool, new features (see them below).

See resume of the changes

Contributor stuff

• Provide a better environment for contributors (Be friendlier with contributors #32, Move the pinned requirements for linting to a requirements file #34, Automate the game packaging process #39 and some related commits)
• Automated the release process via nox -s create-packages (Automate the game packaging process #39 and related commits)

New behavior, or gaming-related stuff

• New feature: the messages bar, which is used as a "log" to show messages and special events (Add messages #37, Add "easter egg" messages #38).
• New creature: the Monster, a special creature that appears once in the game and leaves 1000 points when destroyed (Create a bigger special enemy #41, and some related commits)
• The "spacecraft trash" (or the "missile trash") has changed its aspect (f9b9fed, ec51d57)
• Hidden a few "easter eggs" (Wanna find them? Take a look at the discussion from Easter eggs? #13)

Dependencies

• Moved our linting/formatting dependencies out of the Noxfile, and moved to a requirements.txt to receive updates (Move the pinned requirements for linting to a requirements file #34)
• Updated several dependecies:
  • Pyxel: 1.6.7 -> 1.6.9 (Bump pyxel from 1.6.7 to 1.6.8 #33, Bump pyxel from 1.6.8 to 1.6.9 #36)
  • Black: 21.12b1 -> 22.1.0 (Bump black from 21.12b0 to 22.1.0 #35)
  • setup-python action: 2 -> 3 (Bump actions/setup-python from 2 to 3 #40)
  • checkout action: 2 -> 3 (Bump actions/checkout from 2 to 3 #42)

Since we have changed part of the game's main functionality, this new release will make 1.x versions obsolete (and no longer supported), and we'll collect new scores and records from 2.x versions (something like #14, but using 2.x).

Currently, this project has the following contributors:

• @DiddiLeija
• @HarshNarayanJha

However, we hope the 2.0.0 release will atract new folks! ❤️

I will cut the GitHub tag, and I'll be working on packaging everything to publish it to itch.io... also, I should update the GIFs and that stuff...

Congrats, and sorry for looong silence... You know about the exams (final exams going on...)

You already did so many things (like creating the big enemy)...
I will comeback after the exams, for sure...

Absolutely no pressure! Best regards for your exams :)
