🌈 Other features 🌈

• When you're adding an item to the map, if you press the CTRL key it gets adjusted to a cell. little snap-to-grid moment, slay ✨
• To adjust a rope's length, you select it and — while you're still pressing the mouse button — press the ALT key and drag the mouse vertically until you get the desired length you want.
• To adjust a rope's oscillation amplitude, you have to select it and, keeping the mouse button pressed, press the SHIFT key. Heads up bestie: the real time amplitude is not shown, because it gets determined taking into account the distance in vertical to the rope at the moment you release the mouse button. so yeah, vibes and trust 🙈
