Hack description

This hack allows both players to switch the turtle they're playing as by pressing "select":

- switches turtle ID, palette, name and face on the hud; and plays a sound
- both players can select the same turtle, even on the character select screen or after dying

Also includes a bugfix as a bonus: fixed the weapons of the 2nd player being offset when facing the right direction (see last screenshot).

I Love Being a Turtle!!!!	Dippy-Dawg	2022-12-12	Version 1.1
I can not believe that this hack was released on February 10, 2021, and it has not received the praise that it deserves. Well, here it is December 11, 2022, twenty-two months after its release, and I'm here to say that the ability to swap Turtles and utilize their unique special attack mid-game is an awesome feature. I definitely recommend this hack. It's one of a kind. "COWABUNGA!!!"
