 Originally most variables were in Polish, comments were sparse, but we wanted to release this piece of code to public.

 The post midnight release with great, heavy new features:
-- https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/48, https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/10 - thanks to Miker we have a bunch of fresh sound effects. Not everything is perfectly implemented, but the game definitely got nicer! Thank you again Miker!

 - https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/42 New weapon - Liquid Dirt by Pecus. Try it from directly from the weapon store!
 - (fix) https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/53 - non-existing weapons are not displayed. This makes the defense menu empty when you are poor, but it is still better than the old way with "$0" prices
 - (fix) https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/issues/49 - seppuku should always kill now
