Release: when I finish it

I've been learning lua for SM theming for about a month now, starting with absolutely zero knowledge and here we are, guess that's one thing off my bucket list

Special thanks to: TiKAL (for helping me rip the graphics), SM 5.3 and Themers Discord servers for lua help

NOTES/SILLY STUFF:
-Supports English and Japanese, and a bit of French, German, Italian and Spanish, but only for certain screens. The graphics exist in the GF3rd data but were never used so I decided to implement them anyway
-Early GFDM uses these awkward portrait banners so I decided to just rotate the entire banner window *shrug*
-Proper custom timing hasn't been done yet. Ideally W1/Fantastic = COOL, W2/Perfect = GOOD, and Miss = BAD, with all windows adjusted or turned off accordingly. But this hasn't been implemented so the percentages on the result screen might not add up to 100% due to W3/Great and below not being counted
-Early GuitarFreaks displays a unique title banner before the start of each song. For the theme, it displays the banner instead, or the title if there is no banner

WHAT WORKS:
-Different languages
-Play mode selection (with forced difficulties, kinda)
-Music wheel
-Judgement fonts
-High speed (Fast Flow) codes (but no visual feedback yet)
-Result screen
-Transitions

TO BE DONE:
-SOUND EFFECTS & PROPER BG MUSIC (currently uses other random songs)
-Add menu timer
-Combo font
-Custom timing and scoring
-Add the rest of the codes (and make Fast Flow work properly)
-FC and Perfect bonus
-Stage failed/game over stuff
-Results summary
-Name entry
-Demo loop
-How To Play
-Make Practice Mode work properly somehow
-Make Bonus Track work properly (currently just forces Challenge)
-Add Extreme/Extreme+/Free Select modes
-Add proper Japanese and Korean fonts
-Proper animation for difficulty stars
-More graphics for gameplay, even though it just doesn't fit
-Find a way to make the portrait banners work?
-Add title headers and BPM display (might be tough because of how the game is actually done)
-Subtitles on music wheel
-Complete various other animations
-Rewrite and rearrange some stuff to make way for some of the stuff above

FYI the codes are exactly the same as they are in GF3rd
Left - Red
Up - Green
Right - Blue
Down - Pick

DTXMania could never lol
