_Building Placement in Digital Extinction_

[Digital Extinction] ([GitHub][de-github], [Discord][de-discord],

- significant progress has been made on multiplayer and networking,
- animated arrows on terrain are displayed for selected factories, indicating
the path from the units' spawn points to their delivery locations,
- semi-transparent square markers are drawn on the terrain around selected
buildings,
- health bars are briefly displayed above units and buildings when they take
damage or their health changes,
- the implementation and design of the “Energy” have started to take shape,
- the head-up display (HUD) shows the total battery charge and the number of
selected units and buildings,
- the main theme song plays in a loop, volume of the music can be configured,
- the aspect ratio of the minimap matches that of the game map,
- the option to invert camera zooming has been added to the configuration,
- the [documentation][de-docs] has been converted to mdBook.
