60b685d94b save a copy of vacuum_gambit.p8 as last_tyrianlike 
next step is to pick a real direction -- MMBN-like (+STS-like) or
Survivors-like -- and adapt to match. I am likely to completely remove
the energy system and use permanent autofire, freeing both fire buttons
for more interesting tasks. It loses the opportunity to create a dynamic
around baiting an enemy to keep shooting so its shields don't recover,
but I don't think it loses a lot else.

Either energy management needs to become really important and the game
becomes strategic and tactical, or it needs to be a non-issue and it is
an arcade game. Tyrian itself did not make the energy system interesting
and it was just a tax, so making it interesting would be doing something
new. But I think it's a kind of "interesting" that almost nobody would
adopt unless I go _very hard_ into creating a tactical/strategic shmup.
A shmup that is actually a strange kind of RTS sounds... really cool,
actually, but I'm not at all confident I could design it.

Removing energy entirely gives us a button _and_ a meter back, which
can be used for XP (Survivors-like) or rearm time (MMBN-like).

cc1e7ea5b7 surive at 0hp and adjust hp values to match 
Instead of doing a special case for 1HP, 0HP is survivable, ships die
at negative HP instead. all ship health is adjusted to match, assuming
the weakest shot is 0.5hp, which is currently true. the "real" game will
totally rebalance all ships and weapons anyway.

we're getting close to when I have to stop dawdling and implement the
real game, the engine is _there._

6b8efe3438 fix HP-only mode 
it was showing the bar intended as the warning that there's no HP
under the shield. but I tried it and that bar just makes it look like
there *is* a sliver of health, which there isn't. so it's better off
without that in either mode.
