Alpha 3.1

So a few little changes and tweaks, including a true fullscreen mode!

I've also taken the first stab at controller/gamepad support - this completely changes the controls of the game and how a bunch of stuff works, like there's no multiple menu system and instead there's a "focus" mode.
If you've got any sort of controller for the PC I'd really appreciate your feedback on this one, I think I've got a good starting point but would love to know where we can take it.

Note - if you are testing with a gamepad you'll notice there's a bunch of GIFs missing from the guide, I still need to draw all the "gamepad" GIF equivilents so there's better examples for controller users.
