Changes

First public beta of Crack Attack! — Back From The Stack, a Rust rewrite of the
classic Crack Attack! (Daniel R. Nelson, 2000–2006) with a WebGPU renderer and SDL3.
The gameplay follows the original 1.1.14; everything around it is new.

• Modes: solo, versus the computer (three difficulty levels), and versus another player
  on your local network, found automatically or by address, with a network ranking.
• New look: redrawn logo, countdown and messages, new garbage textures, a window that
  adapts to any size.
• New sound: all-new sound effects, and music based on the song "Les Crapauds"
  (1897). During a game the music follows the pressure on your stack: it grows more
  intense as the stack climbs and settles when you recover.
• Controls: keyboard and gamepad everywhere, fully navigable menus, rebindable keys.
• Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Simplified
  Chinese, Japanese and Korean. All but English and French are new: please report anything that
  reads wrong.
• Updates: a daily check tells you when a newer version is published (it can be turned
  off in About → Updates).

This is a beta: please report problems on the issue tracker.
