ChangeLog for 10/11/2024 - v0.4

• Adjusted all colliders for enemies and for the player to make them feel a lot better. I used either capsule colliders or polygon colliders with less edges so that the sides were more smooth. This makes colliding with enemies and terrain much more fluid.
• I changed the enemy spawn calculation function completely. Now there is a dynamic value called totalDifficulty which is calculated based on the current time of the game. Every 2 seconds, random enemies are picked from the list of total enemies and spawned until the currentDifficulty reaches totalDifficulty.
