Added another quality setting (VERY HIGH) and mapped all combinations of platform + the old quality value to the new 4 value quality option, as follows: desktop + mid/high quality => 3 mobile + high quality => 2 mobile + mid quality, desktop + low quality => 1 mobile + low quality => 0 All choice points in the code which enabled/disabled graphics features, based on platform + quality, were mapped onto a table. This showed which features were disabled or enabled depending on the platform/quality combination. It turned out that mid and high quality resulted in the same settings on desktop, so they could be captured in a single value (3). The only change made to the decision points was that desktop + low quality previously turned off the booster lighting effect, whereas that effect is now on for desktop + low quality. This was done so that mobile + mid quality was equivalent to desktop + low quality. By doing this, the "mobile" property can be removed. I also removed the "half" property, and set it based on quality in the HexGL class (basically, it's enabled for mobile + low quality, which is new quality value 0).

To use full size textures, swap the two textures/ and textures.full/ directories.
Regarding the code
As of now the code is pretty much raw and undocumented. I'll be commenting it someday, but that won't be until I've finished the next content update and code refactoring sorry! There will also be some refactoring, when I get some time :P
Note
After much thinking, I've decided to release HexGL's source code under CC 3.0 BY-NC until further notice. This is not a definite choice, and the game may end up under the MIT license someday.
Feel free to post issues, patch or anything to make the game better.
