Modified Jump Mechanics

One common complaint with Bopimo's jump was that it felt a bit floaty. With this version I have made some modifications to jumping. Jumps now rise slower and fall faster. The jump height has been increased slightly and jumps now only reach the full height when they are held instead of pressed, allowing for more precise movement using short taps for jumps.

New bopjson Format

The bopjson file format was always supposed to be replaced at some point, but I wasn't planning on doing it so soon. In 1.0.9 and before, Bopimo used Godot's JSON::to_native and JSON::from_native functions to handle the JSON encoding. This worked okay, but the format was a bit over-complicated for Bopimo's needs as it needs to support explicit encoding of every data type in Godot. The issue that made me begin work on my own JSON format so soon was that when I upgraded Godot to 4.4-dev7, changes in the JSON::to_native and JSON::from_native functions caused bopjson files created in previous versions to not be able to be loaded anymore due to updates to how the data is serialized. I guess that's on me for using such cutting-edge Godot versions...

With this update, it introduces a new format for bopjson that I can ensure will never be incompatible in the future, as I am now relying on my own code to serialize specific data types to JSON. It also is formatted much more simple than Godots, as it doesn't need to support data types such as Godot's typed dictionaries.

It also has support for non-finite floating point values (such as infinity), so levels loaded with .bopjson that use them on block properties will no longer fail to load!
