February 2025 — RJ-06/CouchPotatoes: Delivered two core movement-system improvements that increase gameplay responsiveness and stability. Implemented a dashing mechanic with state tracking and a speed multiplier, integrated into the movement system and enabling external control of dash state. Fixed push-velocity issues to prevent abrupt speed changes during collisions by introducing pushedVelocity and isPusher, applying the effect only to the affected player. These changes reduce jitter, improve feel, and streamline future tuning of dashing and push behavior. Commits: d3fc62b735f93c6f42ede1627492426a47e5b633 (Fixed dashing mechanism); 6a0937bb97513c41e34fd3276b300659f53aa7c5 (Fixed Issue #1).
