The per-AI "start_date" is a lot of custom code, and was rarely
used in the way it was meant.
While at it, also ported this part over to the new timer system.
This is a C++11 feature that allows the compiler to check that a virtual
member declaration overrides a base-class member with the same signature.
Also src/blitter/32bpp_anim_sse4.hpp +38 is no longer erroneously marked
as virtual despite being a template.
Allow multiple AIs to possibly start in the same tick.
start_date = 0 becomes a special case, where random deviation does not occur.
If start_date was not already 0, then a minimum value of 1 must apply.
-Add [NoAI API CHANGE]: in main.nut the Load() function now should be Load(version, data), where 'version' is the version of your AI which made the savegame
-Codechange [NoAI]: various of function renames to make things more sane
-Add [NoAI]: push the 'version' of the AI through various of layers
-Codechange [NoAI]: various of code cleanups
-Add [NoAI]: store the version of the AI in the savegame too
NoAI is an API (a framework) to build your own AIs in. See:
