= Lua library: `SpeedShoppa` =

Starting with 0.9.22, this Lua library provides a function to create a simple Shoppa-style mission.

In `SpeedShoppa` missions, the player starts with infinite ropes and has to collect all crates as fast as possible and compete for the fastest time.

== `SpeedShoppaMission(params)` ==

This function sets up the *entire* mission and needs one argument: `params`.

The argument “`params`” is a table containing fields which describe the training mission.

Mandatory fields:

|| *Field name* || *Description* ||

|| `map` || The name of the map to be used ||

|| `theme` || The name of the theme (does not need to be a standalone theme) ||

|| `time` || The time limit in milliseconds ||

|| `crates` || The coordinates of where the crates will be spawned. It is a table containing tables containing coordinates of format `{ x=value, y=value }`. There must be at least 1 crate. ||

Optional fields:

|| *Field name* || *Description* ||

|| `missionTitle` || The name of the mission (optional but highly recommended) (default: `"Speed Shoppa"`) ||

|| `clanColor` || Color of the (only) clan (default: `0xFF0204`, which is a red tone) ||

|| `goalText` || A short string explaining the goal of the mission (default: `"Use your rope to collect all crates as fast as possible."`) ||

|| `faceLeft` || If `true`, the hog faces to the left initially, if false, it faces to the right. (default: `false` (=right)) ||

|| `crateType` || Specify the type of crate (this has no gameplay effect), pick one of `"ammo"`, `"utility"`, `"health"`. Default: `"ammo"` ||

|| `extra_onGameStart` || A function which is called at the end of this script's `onGameStart`. It takes no parameters. You could use this to spawn additional gears like girders or mines ||

|| `extra_onGameInit` || A function which is called at the end of this script's `onGameInit` ||
