For #55

Changes:

  • Made the time limit increment configurable via the unity editor (was previously fixed at 30 seconds)

  • Added the concept of 'win streaks' to match the implementation of the other games. Now you can set a certain number of games in a row that must meet the upgrade criteria in order to increase the time limit.

  • I changed the starCreationDistance parameter (the y distance between stars) to a starSampling parameter (number of stars to spawn per cycle of the wave). This made it easier to try different levels of swerve (i.e. different wave frequencies) while still getting adequate sampling to see the wave shape.

  • Increased the base star speed, but mostly increased the wave's 'swerve' (i.e. made it oscillate more frequently left to right). Speed increases alone made the stars very hard to follow visually, so a balance of speed + tighter wave oscillation seemed to work best.

I've sent updated game builds to David, so hopefully he can give input on the star speed / wave shape. It may be easier to try out different parameters with him live on a call, so you can quickly cycle through options and see what fits best.
