Tech info
Cortex is a pure C project written in headerless C.
It uses reference-counted memory management ( zc_memory.c ).
It uses modular programming with mediator - implementation groups with different functionality that don't include each other directly, they send messages to each other.
If a module is "static" a global variable is used to store it's state, instancing is meaningless .

TODO
- keyboard control in menu
- rethink scene generation, it's hard to understand currently and flipping is visible on narrow screens
